Quote - I don't think this is that simple. What is your modelling app?

 

I used Zbrush

 

I posted the question on the ZB forum on ZB central. heres the answer I got.

Seems to work well.

 

1. From Lightbox, load the DefaultSphere.zpr project file by double-clicking the icon. When the project has loaded the sphere will be already in Edit mode.
2. Set the Tool>Geometry>SDiv slider to 1. Polygroups should always be created at the lowest subdivision level. Also, for simplicity turn off symmetry - press X on the keyboard.
3. Turn on Polyframes by pressing Shift+F on the keyboard (or the PolyF button in the Transform palette). The sphere will be shown in wireframe.
4. Hold down Ctrl+Shift drag out a rectangle so that some of the sphere is selected. The selected area will be green. Release the mouse button and the rest of the sphere will be hidden.
5. Press Tool>Polygroups>Group Visible. The selected area will change color.
6. Click on the canvas background - this will unhide the rest of the sphere.

You have now created two polygroups. You can repeat the process to define more polygroups if you wish. You can select an existing polygroup by Ctrl+Shift+clicking on it. Ctrl+Shift+clicking on it again will reverse the visibility, hiding it and showing the other polygroups.

Finally export the mesh as an OBJ through the Tool>Export button. (The Grp button in the Tool>Export menu must be on for polygroups to be exported but this is on by default.) Import the OBJ into Vue to apply materials.
