[ZBrush] Bake Layer Problem

Rnz

Hi guys,

I am working on a zombie arm right now and having some problems with my layer system. I have a layer with some polypaint information for the arm.



Now if try to bake the layer, something weird happens and messes up the whole color information.


Does anybody know how to fix this?

Cheers

From what I understand, layers and polypaint just don't work together. Any time I try to use layers to add polypaint data everything turns to shit: either you get some weird white haloing effects while painting on a new layer, or you get black with randomly colored squares once you bake down.

I'm pretty sure you're limited to just painting on your models with no layer support. I'd love to be proven wrong, because I really enjoy polypainting in ZBrush but not being able to use layers is really disappointing.

Well that is unfortunate. Is there any way around it? The polycount of this arm is too high to append to other ZTools in ZBrush. Basically craches the software everytime I do that. But with the layer on I can't go down in subdivisions.

I hope your layer isn't in record mode while you are baking. This is a problem I am faced with too if the record mode is on. Also materials cause problems too sometimes its better if you have just a flat materials on the mesh. That said I very much think the problem is the former.
