Masking Issue

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello everybody from ZBC.
I’ve always been lurking around here because I love this community and was always font of inspiration to me That said, now I’ve made a account because I need some help.

I was having some issues with masks that I couldn’t clear and I was solving this masking all manually and clearing manually to get rid of some persistent masks, until now.

I decided to dive deep in zbrush, but I’m having this problem: There is a mask that I just can’t get rid off. It’s hard for me to explain, but when I clear it, make another mask and try to invert, the old mask appear again and the whole sculpt don’t have his mask inverted. I don’t remember when It starts, but It’s really drag me down. I’ve done some hours of research and tutorials but nothing useful. Do you guys know what’s happening here? As you must see, I’m pretty new at zbrush.

(Made a dull vídeo so you can try to figure what I’m talking about, you can always slow down the playback)

The video goes by pretty quickly, but it looks like you are manually erasing the masks? Have you tried clearing them using the “Clear mask” command in the masking menu, or by ctrl-drag-releasing a masking marquee in empty canvas? The latter functions are absolute, while manually erasing a mask is subject to error–missing a bit here and there.

Yes, the zbrush rec actually cut off the part where I click on the mask menu. No matter how much a clic on clear, mask all, inverse etc, the mask still there. Searching for the mask and filling it or “erasing” it was working before, but now don’t and I don’t know why. ctrl+drag in the canvas don’t work too, the mask just stay there when for example, I inverse the tool’s mask.

When I arrive at home I’ll make a more clear video with shadowplay this time (just understood how to use it yesterday)

Are you using the most recent version of ZBrush, ZB4R6 P2?
