New in Zbrush

[ISousa]

Hello everyone.
Hope you all going well.
I`m new in Zbrush, and i have a doubt.
I get the trial version yesterday to practise and who knows, buy it if i can get a good knowledge next days.
However, for me, one of the moust important parts of learn Zbrush, is model human faces and cartoons faces, things that i can´t do, i think, because i have the trial version.
Can someone tell me if i am right, or, what i am doing wrong, because i can´t activate “Floor” to work with map 1, and map 2?

Huge thank`s to everyone who answer this message

Hello @ISousa

Welcome to the boards.

The trial version is fully functional, though outdated. It will be missing some current features, but can sculpt characters without limitation.

Be sure to start with the fundamentals of the program. You wont be able to sculpt anything if you don’t understand the basic functions, and it will make everything else you try to do more difficult.

Watch this video to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

Hello ZBER2, thank you for your reply to my problem.

I saw the video you propose, and unfortunately the things didnt change. I still cant activate floor and some other tools.
I think it could be related to some configuration i have in my interface, something like the windows in Photoshop that you activate only the ones you need.
This was just something i thougth but it could be completely wrong, i dont know. This is bad for me because 3 days of my trial version run away, and i didnt learn nothing yet.
I have a printscreen of my Zbrush layout, and i would be grateful for all the help you could give me to fix this issue.

Best regards from Portugal, and once again thank`s a lot

I’m not quite sure what exactly you mean by “I still can’t activate floor”.
Is it that the button doesn’t turn on or is it that you can’t see the floor grid when you turn the button on. It might be that you don’t have an axis selected for the floor. See the image below.
