4R7 Material question?

Hi

I would like to add a matcap ( material ) to a subtool without it affecting my entire mesh? How do I get a matcap to only apply to one particular subtool?

Thanks in advance!

To do that you use the Color Menu.


  • Select M or MRGB at the top of the ZBrush Canvas.
  • Select the subtool you are after in the Subtool Palate.
  • Select the desired Material
  • In the Color Menu hit the Fill Object button.
  • Repeat process with other subtools as needed.

It will seem like the other subtools have also taken on this material, they have not, they just don’t have one assigned yet, switch to something else and all but the one you just filled will change.

You can do this to them one after another, or even select parts of a subtool and fill that.

Basicly you need to “fill” each one for it to have material.

This is usually the case. However, I seem to be having a little glitch that keeps
changing the material/color of a subtool, even though I “fill object” over and over.
Not sure if it’s an issue with 4r7 or what. Driving me nuts.
