i have followed the tutorial and all of which followed, but i am having an issue with coloring and the materials i select. In the video he is able to isolate the poly groups, and select a specific material for that group, but the problem i am having, is when i choose the poly group and the material i want for it, i go back to the main model with CTRL SHIFT, but then i see the whole model material has been changed, i am not sure why it does this.

Isolate the polygroup, turn Mrgb button on, select your material and color, then paint it on the polygroup. Select and isolate a different polygroup, with Mrgb button still on, select a different material and color and paint again.

Edit: Don’t forget that ZBrush shows a live preview of a selected material on all subtools unless individual subtools or polygroups are “filled”(Color > FillObject) with a different color and/or material or as I mentioned above, painted on with Mrgb or M buttons on.
