Basic workflow (Wrap3 and Zbrush)
- Export Base Mesh as OBJ
- Export Scan as OBJ
- Load base mesh and scan into Wrap3
- Selection alignment points
- Wrap mesh
- Export wrapped mesh
- Load wrap mesh into Zbrush
- Subdivide wrapped mesh
- If necessary, project details from scan to subdivided wrapped mesh following this tutorial Projecting High-Res Models in Blender 2.8 using Shrinkwrap
