I sent a g5 actor to zbrush, her entire body, and she came back grey. like clay.
#1. Iclone 5.51 pro to 3dexchange 5.51 pro
#2. Export obj.
#3. loaded in zbrush in tools,import button then drew her then exported her then in 3dexchange I went to file/open loaded her and she looked grey like clay.anyone know of a tutorial or maybe where I went wrong.

That is the wrong way

You can only replace meshes if you want keep movability and textures

(shortcut V )

but note ! do not change the Polycount in zbrush

liebe Grüße vidi

meet us here

To add to vidi's explanation:

1. Select the mesh you want to modify and then on the right click Export Mesh. This will save the mesh as an OBJ file.
2. Import the OBJ file in Z-brush. Make sure that NO scaling or transformations are applied. The mesh needs to stay in the same position and keep the same size.
3. In Z-brush make your changes, but, as vidi says, DO NOT change the poly count.
4. Save as OBJ in Z-brush.
5. In 3DXchange, make sure the mesh you want to replace is still selected and then click Replace Mesh.
6. Load the OBJ file you changed in Z-brush. It should appear with your changes and all textures in place.

I don't have Z-brush, but I do something similar with another program and it works fine.

Thanks you guys.It works perfect. Only difference is the final step in Zbrush.Instead of clicking the save button(whish is also in the TOOL menue) click EXPORT then a save will pop up. just let the name stay as it shows. Then in 3d exchange make sure the proper bone,file, such as Face or upper, as an example is highlighted, then click Replace mesh..Wow this is great.I will do her piece by piece in Zbrush.Also I wish to note, She is a cartoon made from g5 gwynn. I made her a face in facegen applied the face in iclone sent her to 3dexchange then did what you both told me.

I wish to add this note: After making her a cartoon in iclone ,avatar proportion I saved her in Content MKanager,then reloaded her on the floor then sent her to 3dexchange,

Cheers!

all you need to do is import your head mesh , sub divide it ctrl D a few times then paint your texture onto the subdivided mesh . once you have finished export your texture (remember to flip it on the V ) pring the texture into iclone ..

this is a very old tut I did on the subject ...
