<![CDATA[Troubleshooting 3D painting]]>Hello C4d friends!

I'm so close to being able to paint a shoe I can taste it! For some reason, though, I cannot get the 3D painting feature to work. I have done this before without hassle, but that was long ago and either I'm forgetting something or something changed. Thank you for any help.

I ran the wizard, with appropriate settings to create a color channel in the material, no problem.

Now I have the ability to paint within the texture editor window. Great! but not what I need.

3D painting is active.

Materials have the little pencil next to them and no the red X.

I can adjust colors, brush size, etc, still for some reason I cannot paint directly on the mesh...

What am I missing?

Much love!

My best wishes

Yes, I think I did exactly what you did. Here's a revised link:

The mp4 has zero bytes. Would you mind checking it?

Here is a 20-second clip. Do I do something different than you do?

Perhaps that helps to find the problem.

Cheers
