"New From Polypaint" generating a blank texture?

I thought this was fairly straight forward? Polypaint then hit the New From Polypaint button to generate a texture from the polypaint but instead I get this black and white image!

I’ve attatched an image to show what I mean.

am I missing something in the process?

the polypainted texture should be in the tool:texture map window not the texture menu.
do you have rgb selected?
what version are you using?

is that deckard? pretty nice!

hey spaceboy412!

I’m using ver. 3.5 R3. RGB seems to be selected. yeah the texture was originaly generated in the tool>texture map panel, I just cloned it over to the texture menu.

still really confused as to why this is happening. I polypainted a creature last time and it generated the map fine :confused:

and yes it is deckard! :wink:

ok I just did a quick test painting a sphere and when I press the new from polypaint button it generates the texture map perfectly!

So I’m thinking the problem could be with my tool or model. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with the model?

SOLVED!! It’s because I had areas of the model hidden! Seems to work fine now I’ve un-hidden everything :smiley:

hopefully this thread will help someone in the future :wink:
