Polypainting issue in zbrush 4r6

jibberishballr

So far 4r6 is being a pain in the butt, but zremesher is awesome...anyways I'm working on an asset and have remeshed it and projected all the details onto the retopo'd version(4 subd's), and am wanting to polypaint. I have a displacement and normal map, along with UVs at this time.

When I turned on polyframe I noticed none of the polygroups were showing up, (just looks like a wireframe) however i can isolate the groups by CTRL+Shift clicking on them (weird) I tried painting with Mrgb,Rgb, and M, with colorize on, and nothing seems to work. The asset only stays the material I choose and won't allow painting.

Any Ideas?

Figured it out: deleted the uvs and now it works

Did you actually create/apply the displacement map? That requires a texture being on, and textures take priority over displaying polypaint.

I had created a displacement map. I thought turning it off would allow me to have uv's and still polypaint, but I guess not

You just have to turn off the blank texture map it creates instead. Then you can keep your UVs, polypaint, and polygroups.
