Include Wrinkles in Polypaint

This feature uses your character's wrinkle map from Character Creator (CC) to create polypaint in ZBrush. It incorporates CC's detailed wrinkles into specific expressions, improving the visual quality of your character's wrinkles and offering a customizable foundation for more efficient workflow.

The Include Wrinkles in Polypaint feature is compatible only with CC3+ characters featuring individualized wrinkle diffuse maps under Modify > Expression Wrinkles > Texture Settings. This plugin leverages the distinct wrinkle texture maps in CC and transforms them into polypaint for corresponding expressions in ZBrush.

1. Select your CC3+ character and enable Activate Expression Wrinkles under General Settings.
   
   Scroll down to the Texture Settings and choose the diffuse channel for the wrinkle set you wish to individualize.
