ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all! I’ve searched a lot of forums but never got close enough to finding my exact problem (it’s an odd one to search for). I’m pretty fresh to zbrush so bear with me.

In Adaptive preview the zspheres have started to bunch up and explode in strange ways. It doesn’t happen in an earlier version I have saved but I want to fix this since it’d be a lot of lost work :frowning:

Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to avoid it? I like zbrush a lot but find it frustrating at times (coming from a Maya user).

Thanks!!

what skinning method are you using?
Classic or new?

#3

Adaptive skin, new. Classic doesn’t produce any better results.

So I found out what happened at least. While adding new zspheres at some point I hit Shift + LMB drag on the screen. This will cause a huge mess.

Is there any way to undo this action if the subtool’s been saved and closed out of zbrush? Like, resetting the zspheres?

I don’t think so.

#5

Bummer, gotta be more careful. Switching between different hotkeys/shortcuts isn’t second nature yet.

Thanks for the reply!
