Hi Garry, I've simply exported the alien as *.obj.
Then imported in the ZBrush tool palette and inserted in the ZBrush document. Then adaptive UVs assigned (no worry about UVs in RS ;-), the model 3 times subdivided, a displacement map created and painted some simple bumps over the alien. After all I've reimported the alien to bring the alien with the new UVs in RS (see picture) The displacement map was exported from ZBrush as 16bit PSD file. The only thing, which was to do at last, was converting the grayscale PSD-file into 16bit RGB. Seems to me that RS does not like grayscale images. This image is then used as a displacement map. Added some color based on bump-height, to make the alien more colorful. Now I've an alien with AUVs in RS which can be rebumped directly by assigning new textures from ZBrush, without new export or import :-) If you like to work in this flow, make sure that you model with 3 or 4 sided polys only, ZBrush will subdivide all N-gons.
