Zbush Subtools Turn Black On Merge

BitGem

Hi Everyone!

So I have been poly painting a 3d print sculpture with quite a few sub tools and now I want to merge all the subtools and hollow out the figurine... but when I merge them the whole thing turns black and I loose all the poly paint information. Does anyone know how I can get around that problem?

Cheers!

Do You use layers? before merging subtools You should turn off the recording mode of all the layers. There might be some other things, but usually that's the case

Do you dynamesh it together?
You could just copy all tools before merging them, merge one set of copies and then project the polypaint from the original pieces after you've made your merged subtool.

AWESOME!! Thanks a ton! It was the layer record mode. All looking good now
