Brush Alpha Failure with Trans/Mod/XYZ Off

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Is there a good reason why brush alphas don’t work with selectively chosen XYZ transform directions? The functionality (or lack of) seems counter intuitive. I would expect to be able to extrude an elevated plateau of polys in the shape of my brush alpha, with only one transformation direction active in Transform/Modifiers. Deformation occurs in the constrained transform coordinate directions, but as though there was no alpha in the current alpha slot.

This is true for 3 and 3.5 r3 on both 32bit XP and 64bit Win7 systems.

Cheers,

R

I posted about this very phenomenon rcently:

After submitting a support ticket it has been forwarded to the devs for consideration, hopefully it can be resolved. :slight_smile:

Fingers crossed!

Cool. I’ve got my legs crossed too, just for good measure! :wink:
