Member kritskiy Posted June 13, 2015 Member Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi everyone, I don't get why 3d Coat doesn't save the texture in my project. Here's what I'm doing: 1) import fbx to paint on 2) Texture > Import > Layers Color to import base color and AO layers I have 3) painting, saving .3b file, closing 3d Coat 4) open file again, my AO layer is there, but layer 0 is flat grey color What's going on? I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that on 4.5 Beta (I just updated to 4.5.03, osx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Carlosan Posted June 13, 2015 Solution Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Layer0 is used for internal calculation must not be used for paint will you please try the same process adding a new layer first ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kritskiy Posted June 13, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Wow, thanks Carlosan, using the different layer works! But how should I know that Layer 0 can't be used to draw on? Maybe it should be locked or named something like 'DONT PAINT HERE'?

We've been asking Andrew to lock this layer 0 for ages, for this very reason. Don't know why he hasn't/won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess small things like that are always put off in the very end of development! Thanks for clearing this up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
