Are you a 3D artist looking to export multiple Zbrush subtools as OBJ files for your 3D modeling projects? In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process to achieve this.

Step 1: Prepare Your Subtools

Before exporting your subtools, make sure you have organized and named them accordingly within Zbrush. This will help you stay organized and ensure that the exported files are easy to identify.

Step 2: Merge Subtools (Optional)

If you want to export all your subtools as a single OBJ file, you can merge them within Zbrush by using the Merge Visible function. Keep in mind that this will create a single OBJ file with all the merged subtools combined.

Step 3: Export Subtools as OBJ Files

To export multiple subtools as separate OBJ files, navigate to the Tool palette in Zbrush and select the subtool you want to export. Then, go to the lowest subdivision level of the subtool to ensure that you are exporting the base mesh of each subtool.

After selecting the subtool and ensuring that you are at the lowest subdivision level, go to the Zplugin menu and click on the FBX Export Import plugin. In the plugin window, select the Export tab and choose the OBJ format. You can then specify the export location and file name for each subtool.

Step 4: Repeat for Each Subtool

Repeat the export process for each subtool that you want to export as an OBJ file. This will allow you to export multiple subtools as separate OBJ files, each containing the base mesh of the subtool.

Step 5: Check Your Exported Files

Once you have exported all the subtools as OBJ files, it's a good idea to double-check the exported files to ensure that they contain the correct geometry and are ready for use in your 3D modeling software.

By following these steps, you can efficiently export multiple Zbrush subtools as OBJ files for your 3D modeling projects. This process will help you maintain the individuality of your subtools and streamline the export process for your 3D artwork. Have fun creating and exploring the possibilities of 3D modeling with Zbrush!
