Hi people, quick question.

I did a character model in maya and then I exported to zbrush, subdivided and sculpted details. Now I want to do a displacement/normal but am told that I needed to have my UV's layed out before exporting to zbrush.
Is there a way I can go back and lay out my uvs but still use my sculpt for a displacement without having to redo the sculpt?

Hi! I think you might get more results posting this question in the Zbrush forum :)

you can just unwrap your basemesh in maya, export it and import it into zbrush in the lowest level, voila your model has UVs ;)
