I've been wondering what you mean by this, Jay...as in, the disappearing half in Zbrush. Do you mean like, when you convert the polypaint to texturemap? I've used spotlight a few days ago, and exported the colour map from the result with little problem. My main bug bear was that, having applied the face texture from a photo to the front of the head mesh, it was a pain to match the textures on the side views so that there was no noticeable borders between the two. But I don't think this is what you mean.Hey thanks Dave
Yes, Im actually testing a SSS version now, its looking 100times better already without the other maps.
For the record, I did the texture projections in Mari. The reason was because I have an issue with the spotlight plugin in Zbrush which Im looking into sorting out. The problem in ZB is that when you 'bake the face texture to the mesh/map one half completely disappears as if the normals or uvs are flipped on the model (they aren't for the record) so if anyone has encountered this and solved please let me know as I' rather use Zbrus as I know it better.
cheers
Jay
Those test renders look lovely. Both the colour, and black and white versions.

The problem was my uvs were sitting exactly on the outer edge of the 0 - 1 space in the uv editor. I found out that zbrush doesnt like it. So I moved the uv's in a bit and it is all fine now.
Yeah with the projections do them a bit at a time and then save out separate maps and then correct the colors etc in ps and put them all together there.
cheers

Thinking ahead: Letting Uv master lay out my uvs for me might not be too helpful in that case... unless I bring my obj back to Maya to make sure I snapshot the uvs so i can see where the 'boundaries of my puzzle' are in Photoshop???Hmm...that's a bridge to be crossed once/if, I can get happy with my model.
Cheers Jay

@Mayaniac: No mate, no dis maps or normals on it at all.... its just the version of the color map projection straight out of mari. It was a wip but has since been redone in Zbrush as I prefer its workflow for creating the maps. Its looking much nicer now. Will try and post up later.
I also want to tweak the earlobes and the eyelid thickness. Seeing all the stuff rendered in color now I can see what the big prob areas are.....
