Hi Matt :
OK , I like your workflow . Sounds almost seamless , except
for the subdividing part , but I'm assuming once you have
your map from ZBrush you can go back to rendering using
smooth SDS in RS ?
Anyway , from what I can tell , no one has addressed my
original question , and that is "what about 3D painting
your model right inside RS ? " . As I said , I have never
tried it . Is it possible , but not very easy , or not
possible at all ?
Thanks in Advance .

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.

Hi Matt :
Nice texture movement . Um , did you try the RS3D 3D
painting ? Could this bump map not have been applied
in a similiar way inside RS3D ? I really have no idea
since I never tried any 3D painting , and very little
SDS texturing .
IN Z-Brush , do you apint on SDS objects , or onto
imported .obj objects ?
Maybe you could describe what you methodology was
for combining these 2 programs ?
Thanks
