Voxel Paint confusion

[captainbuckfish]

Hi, looking at voxel paint but coming across some confusing parts. Do you have to retopo and bake your model to be able to use voxel paint in the scupt room? When I have a voxel mesh and click the Paint>brush tools in the sculpt room the model disappears? If I retopo and bake the mesh then those paint tools work.

How do you just fill a model with colour to a certain depth without adding and voxels to the model? Like painting the outer layer.

 

Some more basic tutorials on this would be great.

 

Thanks

No. You can draw on the voxel mesh right in the Sculpt room. Then you can retopo the voxel model and bake it in a Paint object.
