My problem is how softimage exports obj files.
I've tested exporting a mesh with nice uv's and re-importing it, without
going into zbrush. its broken most of the time.
This seems to be fixed in 2014, but not everyone on the team has updated
so I need to work around this problem.
My best solution is to edit my uvs with zbrush.
At least it seems like ZB understands how to export obj files

Hi Gerbrand
Usually I get this problem from softimage to maya...It totally screws
my UV's in maya.
But from softimage to Zbrush I use OBJ. Also when projecting are you
using the "PROJECT ALL" in the subtool menu cause this one always
works for me in the newest version of Zbrush.
I do not know the technique you are using to grab the detail so will
be good to know that. Cause that is where it could break.
Also after Zbrush I guess you are going back to softimage right ?
Cause that one should work fine.
Let us know how you go.

Hey Guys and Girls.
I've done a search on broken uv's in the archive, and it seems
like I'm not the only one having this problem.
No solution though :(
The problem is as follows:
I modelled an elephant in zbrush.
Imported the highress mesh into soft and re-modelled with proper
topology and uv's.
As soon as I export the model to go and grab the detail in zbrush,
The uvs on the one side of the model breaks.
Each face in a uv island is now separated into each own island.
Most faces are flipped, but the uv layout looks the same.
Anyone seen this and found a fix?
Thanks
Gerbrand
