Having a polypaint issue............

#1

Having some trouble with a simple action within zbrush. I have a character with multiple subtools. All I am trying to do is “fill object” with a singular color. For some reason nothing happens when I click it for a given subtool. I have RGB checked and also have the brush icon selected as well in the subtool menu.

What’s even stranger is that “filling object” does work with some of the subtools, but not all of them. I don’t know what to make of it. Several of my subtools do have multiple layers though so I don’t know if this is a problem. I came across something the other day that warned about polypainting with layers, but it didn’t go too in depth. Anyone have any ideas, it would be appreciated. It’s driving me crazy…

Try turning off the texture. Go >tool >texture

Thanks FX for the suggestion. I tried it out but it was a no go. Still didn’t work. What’s even stranger is that on the subtool that I can’t “fill object” with color, I have no problem just using a brush and painting right on the vertices. For some reason it’s just that action that isn’t going through…

I also noticed that when I turn off record mode on a layer, then I can fill object with color, but then obviously I can’t paint with a brush. It’s all very strange lol

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug introduced in recent versions of ZB. In fact, the layer system in ZB I find to be buggy in general and hopefully will be revamped in R5.

It’s easier to just zoom out and ‘fill’ the subtool with a large brush.
