09 - UDIM Texture Layout for ZBrush and Substance Painter Workflow

In version 3.3, the workflow for ZBrush and Substance Painter is enhanced. With the UDIM layout option, there will be no normal seams issues.

Here is the workflow for reference:

Step 1: Send CC3 Base+ Character to ZBrush via GoZ.
Step 2: Sculpt character in ZBrush, and send the final shape back to CC via GoZ.
Step 3: Export normal map (A) from ZBrush, and export mesh (B) from CC.
Step 4: Paint textures in Substance Painter by using (A) & (B), and export all textures you need from Substance Painter.
Step 5: Import textures to CC.
