Paint Sculpts made on Wings3d

Hi,

i've made some sculpts in wings3d because is simple to use and my sculpt are not very complex.
So the next step i still try to solve is how i can paint for exampel in photoshop cs4 my sculpted object.
I've tryed to export from wings in .obj format and loading in photoshop but seems the UVMap is completely absent, so i try to export from w3d to a sculpt map and reimporting it i've obtained a spherical uvmap but seem not fine when i export the obj obtained and loading it in cs4 again ... seems that for soem reason the uvmap have zero size faces

there is a good workflow / trick to create a sculpt on wings3 > export > import on 3d paint tool and paint with correct uvmap?

Search these forums and the SL wiki. There are some pre-packaged UV Maps you can use, but the exact set of steps is a little obscure.

Assuming you started with a standard template, or imported an existing sculpt map, the exported .obj file should have a good UV map. So what you are trying to do is perfectly reasonable.

Two possible causes of your particular problem:

1) The .obj export produces a material (.mtl) file as well. Make sure PS can find that file as well as the .obj file.

2) I'm not sure about this, but I seem to recall seeing someone report that PS had a problem with .mtl files that had spaces in the file name. If you gave the .obj file a name with spaces in it, try re-exporting it without.
