meanings of zbrush cursors [Answered]

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello. I have a noob question. I was working on my first sculpt, when I found out that the shape of the cursor changes depending of where do I point on my sculpt. The regular cursor consist of two red circles. One for the focal shift and the outer one for the draw size, right?

My question comes because sometimes, a third circle appears, really close to the outer circle. And it keeps always the same distance to the outer border. It just appears when I move the cursor around the screen. I do not need to click or activate any button, and of course, is still “red” cursor.

Any idea of what is Zbrush trying to tell me?

Thanks.

You’ve got symmetry on.

ok. I can see that is completely true that if I disable symmetry, then the cursor consist of only 2 red circles. Np with that, you are right. But, it is also true that even when I have symmetry on, and I keep it activated, if I move the cursor around the face of my character (1 subtool) there are some parts on the face that the cursor change like if symmetry was not on.

Could this mean that in some point last days, I disabled symmetry for a second so even tough it looks symmetric to my eyes, zbrush is telling me that in that part of the face there is no symmetry?

No, there is no feedback like that. I imagine that it is simply that for some reason the two cursor rings are difficult to render at some points on your model.

ok. Thank you for your help
