Hello everyone,
I have a problem with exporting polypaint into texture. When I press tool/texture map/new from polypaint, part of my painting disappears leaving me with my basic colour which I painted long time ago, any new strokes just wanish. I have a suspicion I created those strokes with polypaint mode different from 1 and they just wont show up on exported texture. Uvs on model are correct, also I am using Zbrush 4r2. I found thread with similar problem http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-954293.html but the suggested solution (to hit ‘texture to polypaint’ first. In the polypaint rollout.) Didnt work since I wasnt able to find ‘texture to polypaint’ button anywhere in my version of zbrush.
The ‘texture from polypaint’ button is now “New from Polypaint” under the tool menu. If you want to apply your texture color back to polypaint, you can use the ‘polypaint from texture’ button
hope this helps!
Try creating a new blank texture first (Tool>Texture Map>New Txtr). Clone your existing texture first if you want to keep a copy.
