Argh! 3.12 for Mac is SO aggravating!!!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

So I’ve poly painted my mesh. Then I used Tools / Tex > Col to convert my polyPaint to a texture map. Then I used Texture / New and set the dimensions but the polyPaint texture doesn’t appear (in short I can’t export my painted texture). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You’ve simply got things out of order.


  1. PolyPaint
  2. Use Tool>Texture to set your mapping (if necessary) and texture size.
  3. Use Col>Txr to covert the paint to a texture
  4. Press Tool>Texture>Clone to move the texture from your SubTool to the Texture palette so that you can export it. (Remember: 3.12 now allows each SubTool to have its own texture. This means that textures can’t automatically appear in the Texture palette.)
Have you read the 3.12 documentation? The PDF is linked in my signature, and it explains these steps as well.
