Retopology workflow problem.

#1

Hello guys, I’m having a problem and it seems like I can’t find a solution on google.

To better explain myself i’ll just write my process of making the retopology and which part of it is the problem.

So I start sculpting an object in mudbox and when I finish it (lets say a rock) I export it as .obj (high-model/subdivided, no UV-s offc.), then I import it in 3dcloat and I make a retopo out of it, that’s where the problems start. When i finished the retopology i got this low-poly model that i import into maya and create UV-s. Am I right? So what is the next step that I have to do in mudbox with this 2 models. Now i got a high-model in mudbox with no uvs, and a low poly object with good uvs in maya), I just dunno how I can merge the high+low poly object into one so that the low poly recognizes the details from the high poly object, which does’t even have the same UVs.

Long story short, how do I transfer all the data from the High-poly model in mudbox to a retopolized Low-poly model with the new and correct UVs, which I created in Maya. :S

Thanks
M

you dont have to do anything…
youst bring the two objects into mudbox and bake between them…
only the low needs uvs…

if you need ambient occlusion give xnormal a try…
best baking tool out there…

Nice, i got xnormal alredy, did not try it yet but its there ready and waiting for me to use it haha, if you don`t mind answering me one stupid question how do i bake those 2? is there an option in mudbox?

Thanks alot

jepp just pick the second object in the baking tab…
its working for normal and displacement maps… but not for vector and ao…
