Newbie : Basics.

Hello everyone,
thank you for taking the time of reading me.
I’m always stuck in “Draw” mode after some step, unable to use the brush and i don’t understand how to select an object (if there is two of them for example).

To illustrate my problem, i made a step by step on photoshop so you can help me more accurately.

I just get crazy with that interface, i don’t get it yet.

Don’t ever press “T” as it takes you out of editing your Zbrush Tool.

Instead, click “A” again to go back editing your Zspheres.

If you get stuck in the “draw the tool” mode, you just have to press “T” again to switch to “Edit” mode and manipulate your model.

In regards to switching between objects, there’s something you need to understand. Zbrush isn’t like most CG packages (like Maya or 3DsMax). Once you press “T,” whatever you have created 3D wise, becomes part of the 2D backdrop. Whatever object you’ve been working on, is no longer there. It’s been converted to a 2D background.

If you want to work on that object again, you just have to draw it on the canvas (like you did in those photoshop examples you posted). Only after you do it, you have to press “T” to go into edit mode, so you can continue working. If your background gets clogged up like it did in your example, press “Ctrl + N”

Good luck.

Ok,
i’ve understand (thank to your post) how to navigate between object and i understand now how it works +/-. Brush are different than documents.

In fact i will only use Zbrush to add more texture to my 3DModels ! (more bump)
