How to polypaint with black or dark colours?

I’m texturing a model using spotlight by rubbing on an image. Works great - but some parts of my pattern are black, or dark grey. ZBrush sees those as transparent I guess and they’re not transferred.

What can I do to transfer dark colours onto my model?

I think only 100% black pixels are treated as transparent, so you can use spotlight’s intensity feature to adjust the image and make those pixels be about 99% black instead. This will let you paint the color onto the model, and it should still look black enough to our eyes.

Thank you so much, Cryrid! Intensity in the Spotlight Dial was the solution. There is a point at which all the transparent bits turn black with one pop, and like you said when painted onto the model all looks dark enough.

Another ZBrush puzzle solved :wink:
