Zproject wont project texture!

Hey I am following a tutorial that shows how to project a textures detail onto a mesh. The mesh is a human character, the image is a face texture. I bring the image in using Image Plane, line it up, etc. Draw the mesh. Select Zproject brush, hit W and draw from the mesh to the texture, hit Q, and start drawing. The problem is, nothing draws! I don’t have any idea what I am doing wrong. This is the tutorial I am watching for the Zproject tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxu5UF5bN8E. *For some reason when I use the hotkey to take a screenshot, ZADD gets turned on. Just to to note, I do not have Zadd when trying to do this.

Here is a pic of what my screen looks like. Any advice for how to get this to draw?

P.S. This is driving me crazy.

Zproject brush is not working in terms of color in Z4r2. It still works for displacement.

Give Spotlight a try for this. It’s actually a much more powerful tool for positioning and painting 2d images onto your model.

Ok thank you very much. I will watch some spotlight videos asap.

Wow Spotlight is amazing! Really nice tool for sure, love the nudge tool to adjust the image on the fly. This worked perfect for face and clothing textures, model looks awesome. Can’t thank you enough!
