Hey guys,
This is a problem I’ve had multiple times, and any insight to what causes it will be much appreciated as I am very new to Zbrush. The problem seems to occur when I am lighting multiple subtools, generally with different materials applied to them, and what is happening is that light caps are having absolutely no effect on the tools.
For example, yesterday when I was finalizing a sculpt, i set up the lighting (it was working correctly at this point), then I saved the lightcap, cleared the workspace so I could resize the document to the desired resolution, then drew the tool back in at which point it stopped being affected by the light at all. Deleting lights and adding new lights did nothing, same with initializing/restarting Zbrush.
I eventually solved part of the problem by merging subtools, thus making them the same material. However, one tool would not merge, and so it is unlit in the final picture below (the gold filigree, the shadows and highlights were drawn on in photoshop).
I’ve had the same problem when I’ve decided to change materials mid way through lighting. Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a solution? Also, critique of my sculpt is much appreciated.
Cheers!
