mudbox obj

imk

Hello, i am new to using mudbox and i am using it just for texture painting. In maya i selected various objects and exported it as one obj. Then i import it in mudbox but when i started painting, i am painting all the objects at the same time...I know of the lock function but it's troublesome to lock every object.

How do i paint on one object at a time?

thanks

assing a shader for each object you like to have its own texture...
rightclick onto the object assing new shader..

or hide the objects/faces you dont like to paint on...
use the uv shell selection tool for...


or create uv tiles to seperate materials...
and use the up arrow key to unload the tiles...

and check out the angle based masking in the falloff settings in the brush settings... its preventing faces facing away from the camera to be painted to avoid texture stretching...

You can right click and "Isolate" the object you want to paint on, and then "Show All" when you're done.
