Bug: Entire model is in shadow

This is a problem I’ve encountered quite a bit. Basically, the model is in shadow, when there is nothing in the scene which indicates that it should be so.

  1. Restart Zbrush.
  2. Load a model
  3. Do a quick test render (Shift + R)

Keep in mind that the light and the render settings are exactly the same here.

Workaround: Save the model as a tool, restart Zbrush, set the size of the document (you may want to change the size if you for instance want to render out a turntable video), then load the tool. This should work.

I have been unable to duplicate this. I recommend creating a Support ticket. Be sure to specify which operating system you’re running.

Hi Matthew. Here is a video I’ve recorded of the process. It breaks on command. I’m using Windows 7 64 bit. I’ll also submit a support ticket.
