Hi all,
Need help on this one, i am new to Zbrush and i relieased that the instant texturing function is not woking. Whenever i am in edit mode, i click on any texture in the texture palette, nothing will apear on my object. The only way that i can get some texture onto a object is by using the texture mapping it.
I am running a X64 Win7, is this the cause to the problem?
any form of help is appreciated.
Thanks
Textures in 3.5 R3 are applied in a per subtool basis, using the Tool>Texture Map submenu. Click on the thumbnail and select the texture from the pop-up. Textures should be imported into the main Texture palette before selection.
Hi,
Thanks a lot. The problem I have is that I dont know how to bake a texture onto a tool.
What i am intending to do is to bake an image of human head onto an Image plane. I have related tutorials, but they are all in 3.1 version, so the texture map interface looked very different. especially that i cannot find the col>texture button, what should i do?
Thanks
You may find the Image Plane plugin useful. It is included with the 3.5 R3 installation, or available from the Download Center. If you already have it installed it will be in the Texture palette, in the Image Plane submenu.
What workflow you follow will depend a little on what you are trying to achieve. If you explain a little more it would be useful.
The col>texture button is now in the Tool>Texture Map submenu, and is called ‘New from Polypaint’. The reverse, for creating polypaint from a texture [old txr>col], is in the Tool>Polypaint submenu and is called ‘Polypaint from Texture’.
HTH,
To see the texture in the normal texture menu (to export it):
