Projection Master Effects Not Staying

I am new to ZBrush and I have been using Projection Master to put color and materials on my models. I have always simply dropped the model onto the canvas and then painted on my color and picked it up with everything working.

Now, however, after I finish painting on my color/material I pick it back up and all of the color and material that I had put onto the model is gone. The model reverts to what it looked like before I dropped it.

I have tried using Projection Master with different settings and I have even re-done the entire model… but the same thing happened.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You’re either trying to paint texture without any UV’s assigned, or trying to paint polypaint without having filled the object.

Try using Color>Fill Object with Draw>Rgb turned on. This will set your model up for polypaint, after which you should get what you’re looking for from PM.
