Alembic or OBJ? or do you like FBX?
this is how you do it!
Planing your UV layout can save a lot of time in texturing when you want to mirror paint. Another optimization is to plan where you actually place the UVs.
I have started to use a method to place UVs by material as much as I can. Another tip is to place the UVs according to directionality.
More on this in another tutorial!
Happy Painting
