in ZBrush, how do you make a unique material for individual subtool?

weee

I couldn't find a way, for example, you assign a material (matcap or whatever) to a bunch of subtools, but if you want to modify that mat to fit each subtool, the mat will change hence affect all the subtools it applied to, how do you get around this to customize the mat for a subtool without affects the others?

choose the material channel for you brush (the little buttons that say MRGB, RGB, M)
hit either M or MRGB and then paint on your model!

i need to modify some parameters in the mat setting, but every time i do it affects all the subtools applied with this mat, is there a way to make this mat a unique copy only for a specific subtool apart from just choosing the channel?

AFAIK you can't have unique modifiers, so you'll have to save each material individually.
