Smoothing problem (smoothing on the other side of the mesh unwanted)

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello, i have a geometry of a tyre, i want to smooth the inside of it, but when i try to the smooth affects also the other side of the mesh (the outer part) which i do not want to, i tried the brush-> automasking->back face auto mask

It didnt help (maybe a little but really almost not noticeable), i played even with the settings in “back face auto mask” but it didnt help either, i also tried to mask the parts before smoothing also didnt help almost at all…

How can i solve this, how to smoth without affecting the other side (of a close mesh)?

MaskByPolygroups, set at 100. Or try hiding parts you don’t want touched.

#3

if you don’t have polygroups then activate backface masking in the brush palette while having the smooth brush selected

Thank you, that helped! :slight_smile: Activate the backface masking WHILE holding shift (selected smooth brush), that was the mistake i did i didnt hold shift down while activating backface masking.

Wouldnt found that out myself, thanks for advice! :slight_smile:
