Hi folks, I've been trying for several hours to get Carrara 7 Pro's 3D Paint to work.  For example, I imported a previous model (made in Carrara 5 Pro into a new scene) and In the Assembly Room, I selected the main body (it shows up in the vertex room so its not grouped).  It already as texture on it.

Now when I select the paint color, adjust my brush, ensure that the transparency is zero etc, I attempt to paint the nose black, the circle moves around the model but not color is generated.

To make matters frustrating, sometimes I can make a simple sphere in the vertex room, open the assembly room, select an over all texture and it will show up, then the 3D paint program works--bangs ones head against the desk.  Any ideas????  Jan

total 3D and c7p paint noob here, got it with 3D world after using 6pro fom Daz book disc over a year, Cripeman's youtube tutorial helped me, I am doing a physics sim in C7pro right now so can't check. but I think you have to create a new texture map first and save it, prob someone more knowlegeable will chip in but meanwhile check out his video tutorial

I forgot I made this thread, so I made a new one and resolved the issue.  Jan
