Good afternoon.
I am probably asking a really simple question here but hopefully someone will forgive me and be able to help.
I am coming back to ZBrush after not using it for some time and I am confused by the differences between tools, documents and projects.
The reason for this is that when I copy a simple polypaint tutorial, ZBrush works as the tutorial does.
However, when I try and use polypaint on a tool that I have created myself it behaves differently.
The difference seems to be that the starting point for the tutorial is a standard project, accessed through lightbox (a ZPR file) while for my tool my starting point is a document (a ZBR file).
I developed my file by:
- Creating a new tool and saving it to a ZTL file
- Saving the document as a ZBR file using the Document menu as I didn’t realise that the File menu was similar but different at that point
I think that the point that I need to get to for my polypaint to work is to convert my ZBR into ZPR format.
To do this, I have opened my document file - then loaded my new tool file and finally saved it as a project using the File menu.
However, when I open this project - via lightbox - when I try to polypaint the tool no colours appear.
Indeed I cannot even use colour fill to make it a different colour completed.
Do I have to go back to an earlier stage or is there another way of converting my tool/document into a project again so that the polypaint will work.
I hope someone can understand what is happening here and set me right.
