Although there isn't a 'BodyPaint' forum, you should try the 'Cinema 4D' forum as they are both Maxon products and BodyPaint is an integratable module in Cinema 4D. Are you dragging the material icon from the Material Manager window onto the object name in the Object Manager? This is how you do it in Cinema 4D. BP should then automatically create a 'Texture' tag to the right of the object.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
