ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m having a little trouble with a ZTool and materials and looking for some help.

I’m guessing I’ve done something during modelling, but I can’ t work out what.

Some work was carried out using ‘Red Wax’ and clay tubes. However when I change my material to any other the ‘Red Wax’ remains on certain parts of the ZTool. If I turn Colorize off the ‘Red Wax’ areas disappear. But when Colorize is on the ‘Red Wax’ returns. I have included images below for reference.

Is there anything I can do to rectify this issue, as my next workflow is to add alphas and paint. ZTool-with-RedWax-material.jpg

“Colorize” is polypaint mode. Polypainting is only visible when “colorize” is on. Any other time, it will preview with the selected Color/ Material (or a texture, if applied).

The most logical explanation, is that somewhere along the line you’ve painted some material onto the mesh in polypaint mode, maybe with M or MRGB pressed on a brush.

Regardless, its easy to fix. Just turn colorize on, and go to Color>Fill Object and fill it with the color and or material you want with MRGB pressed. This will “prime” the object for painting.

Thanks Spyndel, your a life saver.

Easy when you know how. More importantly easier when you understand why.

Thanks again
