I think this approach is a bit an overkill. I think you could simply go to highest subd level, press Polypaint to Texture (in texture palette) and export it as ID map.
Do you need to use Polypaint (Vertex Color) in order to make this color selection inside Painter? I was wondering, if a Polygroup Selection itself inside Zbrush, can't be used for the selection process inside Substance Painter? Do Zbrush Polygroups not work for the selection process inside Substance Painter?
@@MadPonyInteractive hmm.. so you need poly paint 🎨 (vertex color). For low poly models not very good. Colors are bleeding or you need split each poly group as an extra step to avoid that. 🤔 I wonder if there is any other simple and faster way to create masks? Thanks a lot and keep rocking, cheers 🍻
hey it is alwyas necessary to have UVs for highpolys? to create IDs ? I mean , sometimes it is consuming time for complex character . for cilinder or primary shapes uv process it is simple and texel density is not too much a approach.. I like the way to have ID for using then and do not miss with mask and complex a nd consuming time thigs, but I have not a time machine . thx.
Straight to the point but still in-depth. Thanks!
Thank you
easy & straight bro
useful 🥳
This is amazing, thank you so much
Awesome explanation
i love you man.
Thanks a lot, I think they changed in a newer version on default to the material color I couldn't get what I was doing wrong.
hi, I did exactly the highpoly file as you but I dont fill color for the low and when I bake the color ID map is grey, can you help me pls

I wanna really know what is the use of ID maps ?
Exactly, What they could add for a piece of mesh ?
They are used as selection areas for a texturing application like Substance Painter, similar to polygroups in ZBrush

Not unless you fill them with a color.

@@bernhard.design yes indeed the bleed is awful, it gets better with high poly though.

High Poly does not need UV, only the low poly does
@@MadPonyInteractive ok thx
