ZBrush to DAZ textures

LD1

Can someone please tell me the trick of getting the textures from ZBrush to align correctly with DAZ? I have tried flipping and rotating the texture before exporting, but nothing aligns with the object in DAZ.

Flipping the V shoudl work, but how did you get the maps into ZBrush and back to textures? If we are discussing the Daz humans ZBrush doesn't, as far as I am aware, support the overlapping or UDIM mapping so there's a certain amount of fiddling involved.

I have the 3D fruit from Bad King URL: http://www.badking.com.au/site/shop/organic-custom-brushes/3d-fruitby-gordon-goane/ ; The fruit comes textured but the textures didn't come into DAZ when I brought the obj in. So here is what I did:

1) I brought the fruit's ZTL file into ZBrush

2) I used the TextureMap's Create "New from Polypaint" to get the texture off of the watermelon

3) I Used the "Clone Texture” button 

4) I went to the Texture menu and exported it as a Jpg

5) I imported the object into DAZ using XYZ coordinates 

6) I brought the texture in using the Surface tab's controls

BTW: Before exporting, I tried flipping the V Axis etc. but nothing aligned when I brought them into DAZ. What am I doing wrong?

Problem Solved:

It dawned on me that I never created UVs for the fruit. Once I did - the textures aligned perfectly in DAZ. Sorry for bothering you, but thanks for trying to help

Is the model UV mapped? I would think so, if you can go from Polypaint to texture, but it may be worth checking (and checking that DS is reading the UVs by switching to the UV preview mode in the viewport with the model and surfaces selected)

Looks like we both came up with the same idea and posted seconds apart.

Thanks for the tip on checking DAZ's UV Preview mode in the viewport. I will do that.
