Texturing Issue - PICK "UP" not effective

[Terrence_Karson]

Hey guys I been trying to texture a head model I am working on using either Zapp Link or Projection Master. Both methods work fine until the “PICK UP” button is pushed. That is when the worked on texture is not applied and the image vanishes from the model (it is there only briefly).

I have tried baking all layers and re-trying the methods but still no luck (though once when I baked all layers the textures appeared on the model but when I hit undo and baked all layers again the texture was no where to be seen).

Maybe there is somewhere I am not checking to apply the texture afterwards? The head model also has a coat of PolyPaint on it - could this be causing conflict?

1. How did you assign the UVs to your model?
2. How big is the texture map that you are using?

this is another little quirk with zbrush i’ve experienced too, don’t know why it happens, but i think you can get around it by doing the following(its from memory so it might not be exactly right)…do whatever you normal do, then when you get the blank screen, go to edit “tool undo” and undo a step or two, also try “spotlight undo” and undo a step or two, then hit frame and your tool should appear on the screen, then go back to the edit menu and redo the steps you undid and everything will be right.

fiddle with that process and you’ll find something works for you.

zbrush has a couple of these little quirks here and there, nothing really wrong, just strange.

What version of ZBrush and what OS are you using?

sorry I didn’t get the chance to reply immediately I have been rather busy with school work and all.

I am using Zbrush 4R6 with Windows 7 on a 64Bit

I did not do anything related to UV’s yet and as for the texture map the picture was 970 x 1395 pixels

I managed to move beyond this point after continuous spotlighting but would like to look further into this for the sake of concern

as for Zeddie’s method I attempted the undo’s in various forms but still no luck

thanks though guys

Sorry, I wasn’t clear what you were doing. I don’t think it is possible to use Projection Master or ZAppLink with a 3D Layer in record mode.
