Misalignment Between Armature and Skin

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m trying to develop some skill in constructing and posing Zsphere armatures. The first image I’ve attached shows a simple armature. I pressed “A” to preview the adaptive skin. In the second image, note that the model has been rotated so that, in the adaptive skin preview, I’m looking at the underside of the model. First time I’ve ever had that happen. Can anyone tell me why the position of the model changes when I go from the zsphere armature to the adaptive skin? Many thanks.

My guess is that you accidentally switched to Rotate while in Preview mode. ZBrush tries to maintain the skinned version of the ZSpheres, included any transformations.

To get rid of this and force ZBrush to recalculate the skinning:

  1. Press ‘A’ to preview the mesh.
  2. Press Tool>Morph Target>DelMT.
  3. Press ‘A’ again twice to switch Preview off and back on. All should now be well.
