Help !!
I have tried working through the sequence to texture a head on both sides but can only manage to texture only one. I notice that when running through the Zscript that the "Double" button is pressed as well as 3D copy - I,ve tried various methods here, with no success. What is it I,m missing?
The ZScripts run so fast - is there a way to slow them down?
I,ve also looked at the script which does not show the sequence of buttons pressed - mostly states canvas stroke and alpha, numeric characters, no mention of 3D copy etc. - Maybe I,m expecting something more or maybe I,m just dumb.

Hi Ogre,

When using the 3D copy, ZBrush is applying auto-depth masking prior to the 3D copy operation. In order to get both sides (front and back) of the object being effected by the 3D operation, the object needs to have its 'double' sided option on (which can be turned off after the 3D copy operation) and one of the following options...

1. Use the transform mode in order to bring the object closer to you, close enough that even the back side of the object will be infront of the existing pixols which will allow the mesh to be copied into on both.
2. Disable the auto masking by turning off (temporarily) the INFRONT in the DRAW:CHANNELS submenu.

Thanks ZuZu, now working perfectly.
I would have been there for days trying to figure that out.
As regards the Zscripts - should they show this detail in the steps ?

Thanks again,
