Best way to keep materials intact when updating ZBrush to Keyshot scene

[Metin Seven]

Hi,

I was wondering what workflow you use to retain materials on ZBrush objects — or easily reapply them — when updating a scene.

As long as ZBrush and Keyshot remain connected within the same session, updating a scene and keeping the assigned Keyshot materials works fine. But as soon as ZBrush and/or Keyshot has been exited and restarted, the connection is lost, and updating a scene results in the loss of all materials that were assigned to the previous scene version in Keyshot. That's quite frustrating. What's your way of coping with this?

Many thanks in advance,

Metin
