Polygroups messed up - changes for no reason

Hey guys,
For some reason, after I do polygroups from polypaint and I see it looks fine, as soon as I close Zbrush and re open the file, or if I go to the lowest subdivision level and then back up I get a completely different polygroups result.

Here how it looks like in the beginning compared to the end:

Anyone knows what’s the problem?
Thanks !!

Polygroups need to be created at the lowest sub-division level in order to remain consistent. Because saving is done from the lowest subdivision level, saving the model or the use of QuickSave can mess up polygroups created at higher subdivision levels.

One possibility would be to duplicate the subtool you are working on and then delete the lower subdivision levels of the duplicate. You could then work on this without losing the polygroups. When you have completed the high definition work you could project the details back on to the original subtool.

Oh I did not know they are not made to remain on the higher subdivision levels.
Thank you :slight_smile:
