Zbrush

[fmasuela]

Hey
Suppose I have sculpted a high resolution mesh in Zbrush (ie 3 million polygons), and I intend to animate the low res mesh in 3D Max or Maya.
Than I export the high resolution mesh from Zbrush as an OBJ file, and open it into 3D Photo Browser, to reduce the amount of polygons (lets say 2 thousand polys) and save it as a new OBJ file.

Question: using this new low poly mesh, can I re-import it into Zbrush again, as a base mesh, considering I already have a high res mesh?
I intend to extract the Normal Map in Zbrush.


Tks

For Normal Mapping to work, you can't change your UV coordinates between the high and low polygon mesh files. It should work, I would just download the trail and give it a quick test. I'm interested in the results.
