Unable to assign material

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,
I have a model consisting of a couple of subtools. During the modelling stage I assigned temp materials-temp colors. Now I want to polypaint and work on the final materials but for some reason no color or material info is being accepted.

I have polypaint activated (obviously) as well as MRGB turned on. I tried filling the subtool with the FlatMaterial to delete the exisiting Shader but it doesn’t work - neither does painting any other material on it in Brushmode (not fillObject). The only way to get the model to accept color/material is to export the highest level as OBJ, reimport and append.

Not ideal. Is there anz other trick I am unaware of to force ZB to reset Material-assignements ?

thanks

sounds like a mask or a layer problem to me.

the only solution i’ve found for this problem is, as you say, to export the highest level as OBJ then re-import. This is obviously far from ideal but i think it’s just amassive bug in zbrush as no-one seems to know a fix.
