ZAPPLINK 3.5 issue

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello there I need help to resolve a problem with zapplink, thank you in advance.

the problem occours when I re-enter zbrush after changing the file in PS CS4.

I get the message to pick up the changes…
after that at the top left of the interface i see that projection master is picking up the textures… and the texture is shown to me perfectly on the viewport…

Although after it informs me with this message “pick up complete, now you may re orient and re drop”

the texture i modified disappears and i’m left with the new texture i created at the beginning…

If anyone knows how to resolve this please let me know.

Thank you :cry:

Actually found what makes my texture disappear … it’s the FADE option in the zapplink panel.

If i uncheck the fade option it would let me import and the texture wont disappear.

As soon as i check it again it doesn’t pick up my changes.

Also noticed some artifacts when redropping (with no fade) and it shows me the texture on PS in a weird way… may be because of the layer above which is on hard light layer comp option.

hope anyone will know what could be a walk around these issues.

thank you

I also have this problem occasionally, though it is becoming more frequent. Taking Fade off doesn’t help me. VERY frustrating as I can lose a lot of effort for no apparent reason.

make sure you never use the Flat Shader when you’re going into Zapplink as well…it tends to just throw out any information that PS bring in.
