Issue with Zproject texture painting?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey guys. I’m trying out the mac version of Zbrush just to see how it compares with the PC version. I like the new features but there are somethings I think are missing or taken out. Zmapper for one, but hopefully that will be added later.

I’m trying to do this: http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Tutorial:ZProject_Texturing

I’ve done this many times on the PC version and it has worked great. However no matter what I do, I can’t paint anything on the Mac ver. I load the document, draw my model on it, create action line from model to point of texturing interest. When I go back to draw mode to paint it with the zproject tool nothing gets painted on the model and my RGB intensity is 100%.

Was this removed from the Mac version or am I missing an important step?

Have you filled the object with color to enable polypainting?

#3

Yes I have. I just tried it again to make sure. Still nothing.

I’m having the exact same problem. I’m creating a shoe that consists of several subtools. I turned on only the subtool I want to zproject with an image cropped and filled underneath. It’s colorised and filled with white. But it just would not paint. Anyone knows why?

#5

This is an issue I’m having only with the Mac version by the way. When I was using the PC version everything worked fine.

hi,
I also have this as an occasional problem (mac version), ive found that if i hit ’ make poly mesh 3D’ my new tool works with zproject perfectly well,
hope that helps,
