Creating Shading Domains in Hexegon for import ? - Polyloop

Aunty Betty · 20th January 2006, 16:52

I can keep my Mesh object group components when I import a .obj model from Lightwave and re-export after re-assigning auto groups in ZBrush back to Carrara.

However Carrara or Hexegon do not show the group components from the original Lightwave .obj export ( which contains named surfaces for each component of the model)

My Question is this:

when using Hexegon with Carrara how do you create shading domains ( or what Lightwave calls named surfaces) in Hexegon for re-export to Carrara ?

I can't find the shading domain pallete?

It's on left tray.

If I have well understood the question ...

In Hexagon the shading domain are on the left palette (see enclosed image) you can create a new shading domain selecting one or more faces and clicking on the "Set - > New" drop down list that is in this "palette".

Left tray - I never even realised there was a left tray.

Thanks both so much. :-)
