You’re not in Edit mode. Switch your stroke to Drag Rect and then drag out the object on screen. After that, Hit the “T” key on your keyboard or click the Edit button. Then click the “Make PolyMesh3D” button. Now you can subdivide and sculpt on the object.

What you are running into is the difference between 3D and 2.5D, and the difference is what makes ZBrush wonderful.

Right now you are using that star as a 2.5D brush, and what you want it to be is a 3D object (called a tool in ZBrush).

To make this happen do this:


  • Type Control N on your keyboard to clear everything and make a new Canvas.
  • On the Left side, in the Stroke Palette, select Drag Rect as Cad64 suggested (its just under your brushes).
  • Drag out the star onto the canvas.
  • At the top turn on Edit (it will turn Orange). It is now a 3D object and can be rotated and sculpted and stuff.

Note that MOST of the basic shapes are not ready to sculpt, they are called Primitives and you will need use Make PolyMesh3d in the Tool Palette on the Right to get them to where they can be sculpted. The star happens to be an exception to that, It’s already PolyMesh (in fact its called that instead of Star3D or something).
The difference between 2.5D and 3D is very strange at first, but very cool once you grasp what it is, but for now just remember this:

Edit Mode, and the Edit Button are god.
If you turn off Edit Mode your object drops to the canvas and becomes 2.5D this is permanent, but only if you do something else after doing that. If you do it by mistake you will notice that Edit wont turn back on (this made me insane at first) BUT you can put your 3D version back onto the canvas no problem, and the process is the same as I listed above:


  • Control N for a new Canvas (if you want).
  • Select your 3D Tool (object) from the Tool palette.
  • Draw it onto the Canvas.
  • Turn on Edit Mode.

TADA!
You should be good to go.
