Hello everyone. In today's video we are covering how to create UVs in Zbrush using polygroups. I find it a very effective way to get decent UVs while using zbrush.

Thank you so much for this old video! I was just trying to workout a way to apply a repeating pattern to a shirt using an alpha I had bought online. found I could use your method of making poly group UV's for the mesh, then morph UV and apply noise to the object while it is flattened. There is minor issues with seams but overall the effect is 10x better than doing it by hand with alphas or spotlight. Applying noise without morph UV would always make some of the pattern worp into a shape I didn't like as it tried to fit around an uneven surface. Thanks again. I know this video is 2 years old now but it's been a great help!

Thank you so much for this, I’m working on a showcase sculpture but also want to do some texturing and didn’t want to go back to blender/max to retopology in order to UV, also tried traditionally UV my lowest subdivision zremesh version of my sculpt but was really painful to do (still I’m the 30k tris range), now I can handle it almost entirely in zbrush

Thanks a lot! I do have a question tho, how do you export the whole model WITH the exact UV related to substance painter? When ever I do so, Substance doesn't know how to get the UV I created before in Zbrush.
@IRSculpts
@IRSculpts 3 жыл бұрын
Great Question! I highly recommend that you export with an FBX file format to use in SP. Once you are ready to export to SP, click on Export under the Tool Menu > Select FBX for file type > and then select either All subtools or visible subtools to ensure you export all of the subtools you need to import into SP and I recommend leaving all other default settings (FBX 2020 - export camera - Embed Maps - etc.). As long as all of your subtools have UVs, the FBX file format will hold that information and bring it into SP. Hopefully that is helpful. Glad you enjoyed the Tutorial. :)

You’re welcome! I would say that depends on what you’re going for. I use this method for when I want to have some decent UVs but don’t want to go into other programs like Maya. But if you are trying to really get create and proper UVs for animation or games, I would take it into a software that would give you better and controllable results. How that helps!

Hello Ian. I have a workflow question. I created a fairly detailed tree stump with 6 levels of subdivisions. From here, I planned to export my normal maps. But, I did not like the way ZBrush creates UVs. They are not created in the best way, in my opinion. So, I discovered polygroups. Yay! But, no. As I'm sure you know, you cannot have multiple levels of subdivisions if you want to create polygroups... which would be used to help me create a UV layout, that would then help me to export a normal map for my model. But, this process NEEDS those multiple subdivision levels. This makes no sense. How do people sculpt and export their work into other programs if ZBrush works like this?? Is there not a way to extract UVs from models in Maya?
@IRSculpts
@IRSculpts Жыл бұрын
That’s a great question! You can create polygroups with a mesh that has subdivisions. Drop your mesh down to the lowest subdivision and then with the masking tool or selection lasso tool, select the part of your mesh you want to have as a new poly group. Then press CTRL +W. It’s true that there is no “good” approach in ZBrush to have full control of your UVs since there is not a uv editor, however you can layout your uvs to help later processes like texturing in Substance a bit easier. For a lot of artist, ZBrush is a small part of the pipeline, but with the ability to have control of polygroups, this makes the process easier. You could also duplicate your mesh, delete higher sub divs and then modify it to your liking. Then project the details from the higher res to the new high res mesh once you put back the sub divs to get something you like. Hopefully this helps and thank you for asking :)

You can export out to other programs like Maya, C4D, Blender, etc , with an FBX, which is a typical workflow as well

@@IRSculpts Thank you for responding. I have tried this multiple times. I brought my model down to the lowest subdivision level. With the lasso tool (control pressed), I selected an entire section of my model. I then hit ctrl + w, and the selected area simply became deselected. I was, however, successful when I grabbed a model from the Lightbox. Not getting this at all. There's something about my model that's apparently problematic.

It’s kinda hard to say what happened without seeing your model, but it sounds like your mesh might be broken. What I would suggest trying to close holes and weld points and try again. Hope that help.

If you try to unwrap and you get freezing or crashing, you most likely have a spiral loop somewhere. I would recommend deleting all lower sub-divisions and then unwrap again and project your details back through project history or duplicating the subtool. Hope that helps

@IRSculpts
@IRSculpts 2 жыл бұрын
Where you place your seams is important and what I try to do is place my seam where they wouldn’t be too noticeable. Zbrush does a pretty good job at stitching everything back together, but it’s not always perfect. The example here is what I normally default too and shouldn’t give you too many issues Hope that helps
