Hi

I am doing chapter 21 in the Video tutorial at http://www.caligari.com/products/trueSpace/ts5/Courses/NewCharacterModeling.asp?Cate=Training&SubCate=Older which is about Character Design.

The author after showing how to make a shirt does not show the whole process of how he colored it, as well as the body. I assume, though he used the Material Editor. I tried applying desired color to the sphere in the Material Editor Window and then dragging it onto the (selected) shirt, which I had selected.
In another tutorial, South Park Reloaded, different parts including the body & clothing where colored that way, but the character was made differently.
In this case, however, the whole body, including the non-selected portion gets colored.
How do I restrict the color to the selected part or body?

This is what it looks like, when with the shirt selected:

The chapter before ends with the shirt being made & the next chapter already has both, ie. including the body colored.

Could there be another way to achieve this, in case I'm doing it wrongly?

I'd be grateful for a quick response as this is holding me up from continuing.

Thanks

use the paint brush icon in the material editor to paint just selected sections, as soon as you click it they should change colour

Many thanks.

Sometimes, one needs just a little push ...:jumpy:
