Whats up with Smoothing and Layers?

[system]

Hello everyone!

Does anyone know why when I try to smooth the edges of nose forms that I painted on in a separate new layer…
that ZBrush doesn’t smooth out,
but instead makes the division between the nose forms and the base model sharper?

Go through your layers and press crtl+h to see if a mask is hidden, then just crtl + swipe on the canvas to clear it, as one of them might have a mask stored in the layer for that region you’re trying to smooth.
Masks will be re-applied when you turn a layer back on.

Or you might have auto mask by polygroup turned up to 100, if so, set it to 0.

Hope that helps Gene, cheers ~
