Some Brushes just don't work - 2021.6.2

Hey,

First above all congratulations for the release, this build has been a lot more stable than 2021.5.

I do constantly run into an issue where some brushes just don’t work, or only work on a portion of a mesh. Clay build up works reliably but DamStandard hardly ever.

Move brush also works 50% of the time, and only if i touch the mesh with Smooth first and do not move the camera.

Does anyone else experience anything similar?

Here is an example clip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nu5rzdlpqm21m0/bandicam%202021-03-08%2009-04-47-402.mp4?dl=0

There is no masking here yet some of the geometry is ignored as if it was not visible.

Are you aware of this issue or should I supply test file?

Hi @bestmayne

It might not be your case, but it sometimes happens to me that the mask is not drawn on screen even though there is a mask on the model (as if the Masking>ViewMask button was unpressed). If I suspect this is the case then I draw a mask and undo, which brings back the visibility to the mask I had active before but “invisible”.

Another thing could be that Mask by Polygroups is activated?

I’m “throwing spaghetti at the wall” here :smiley:
These are probably not the causes of what’s happening on your end but if they are the solution is simple.

cheers

Argh, thanks, it was the masking in this case. Gotta love Zb…

I still do get the other issues described in the first post, though. Will try to record that

Hello @bestmayne,

If you believe you are experiencing a technical issue with ZBrush, please be sure to direct that to Pixologic Support. If there is an issue with the program or with your installation, the community Usage Questions forum will be unlikely to help you, and your issues may be missed by the developers.

Thank you!
