Polypaint isnt working

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all

I have a problem with polypaint. I cant get the brush to make a mark on the mesh.

Workflow so far:

  1. Sculpted the model which has 9 levels of subdivision and uses 4 layers for different areas of detail.
  2. Added a new layer called ‘Grey Base’ specifically for the first bit of polypainting.
  3. Turned off Zadd and turned on Rgb. Colorize is on.
  4. Selected a colour for test but unable to make a mark on the model.

I havent painted any masks on the model, and reducing the subd level makes no difference.

I’ve added a grab in case anything is obvious as being wrong…any help would be appreciated.

work without layers?

The only thing I can see is that you have SpotLight on, but since I dont use it much, and I have little experience with layers, I can only suggest turning it off, or putting an image or something in it.
It’s just a thought, or a guess maybe.

Thanks for the input guys

I tried collapsing the layers so that I could polypaint onto a single layer with the sculpting info but no luck. Tried turning spotlight off but again, no luck.

I have used the multi layer workflow before and it worked just fine. This one has me stumped.

Anyone else have any other ideas?
