Polypaint Update to Diffuse Map

While applying polypaint to your character model in ZBrush, you can generate various diffuse map designs within a single project. This workflow proves advantageous for rapid concepting and assessment of design compatibility with the character model in CC4.

1. After you have transferred your character model from CC4 to ZBrush, deactivate all the plugin features in order to apply polypaint to the base model.
   
2. Utilize any desired methods within ZBrush to apply polypaint to the base model.
