A CHRISTMAS plea for HELP!: Only "Move" brush works

Hello,

I’m delivering a 3d file for print today and suddenly I’m locked out of all brushes but “move?” I had made amazing progress just with move (tweaking a previous model) in prepping what will ultimately be a ridiculous Christmas ornament of my brothers likeness.

I jumped back into zbrush v4 this week - hadn’t touched it for 3+ years. I know there are a lot of tricky proprietary work flow issues that can gum stuff up… but I can’t figure out this issue, and have not found a solution online.

I was very excited to get this project done today for christmas, but I’m concerned that I won’t be able to access the other brushes in time to deliver for print turn around.

The brushes will turn on but they don’t affect the geometry when painting… except for “move.”

Any suggestions for solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas,
-JJ

Possibly a scale issue. Save a backup of your model and then try pressing Tool>Deformation>Unify. This will put the model at the best scale for ZBrush’s sculpting brushes. You can use the 3D Print Exporter plugin to make sure the model is the correct size on export.

I figured it out. I had to deactivate projection in spotligth… I was using it for model refs
