ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I am a 2D designer with Illustrator and Photoshop experience. I bought zBrush becuase I have an interest in 3D art. I have NO training in it and have been going through the beginner tutorials which are great! I have two questions I can’t figure out.

In one tutorial it shows a lightbox button with the circle, head etc. next to the edit & draw buttons. I don’t see it though. Is there a reason for that? How do I get it to show up?

In another tutorial it explains to clear artwork in 2D space press control “N”. How do you clear artwork in 3D space without restarting the program?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!

you can customize the lightbox button to be whereever you would like.
i believe the button to active it is in the preferences>lightbox area.
Shift+Z is the hotkey.

to clear your 3d meshes leave edit mode (q) and then hit ctrl+n.
or document>new document.

I could not find lightbox under preferences nor did the hotkey shift “z” work. I looked through zbrush support and found something about lightbox and zbrush4. I am working on zbrush 3.12B for mac right now. Is it not available because of the version I am working on? I also tried looking through “Help” but my application seems to be having trouble with it.

Me thinks you don’t have Zbrush 3.5 R3. Or do you?

#5

Lightbox isn’t inside of 3.12 it is currently only on PC 3.5
