Mudbox Paint Problem
polycounter lvl 6
Hello there, I'm having a problem with an important assignment I'm doing in Mudbox...
I want to preserve previous versions of my file before I do anything drastic and possibly ruin it. What I did was just copy and paste my .mud file and rename it (assignment_copy for example) and then opened it. (I tried 'saving as' but it crashed)
When I opened it, the model was pitch black.. I was able to put the default material on it though and the sculpting etc is all okay. However, the paint layers are still in the layers panel how they should be, but they are not on the model.. The UVs are the same and everything but the paint layers aren't on the model in the 3D view or the UV view.
I can assign the diffuse etc from my FBX export onto the model via the Edit Material option but this mean I can no longer edit any paint layers
Can anyone help?

Yeah, all the paint data is saved in a corresponding folder which gets referenced into the original .mud file. Going forward, just save out the original with a different name like fr0gg1e suggested.
