Hey guys, I was trying to use dam standard brush to do some scuplting, it worked before when I started my project and then when I switch back from other brushes to dam, it just doesnt work at all. Please help.
Hello @Amanda_Lam
If your problem is the result of some change you made to your brush, you can reset it to default with Brush > Reset Current Brush.
Otherwise, I’d need some more context as to what you’re trying to use it on, and the result. A screenshot of the target mesh with the UI showing the current settings would be useful.
Hey SPydel, so apparently all my brushes doesn’t work besides move, and I tried the method that you mentioned , it doesn’t work still
Thanks for the screenie! First red flag I see is that your available memory is very low. Understand that if a device is under minimum spec, there is no expectation of ZBrush functioning on it.
Ok, things to try in order.
-
Back up your file immediately if you can. Save it under a different file name than your last save.
-
Double check that any masking is cleared, and that you have the correct subtool selected (overlapping or duplicate subtools can sometimes confuse what you’re seeing).
-
If using a tablet, see if the brushes work with the mouse. There may be an issue on the tablet level.
-
Try Brush >Reset> All Brushes. See if that resets your brushes.
-
Try Preferences> Initialize. It will clear all content, but you can reload it after if your issue clears. If the issue comes back in your file, then the problem is probably with the tool you are trying to use.
-
Restart your program completely. Without loading your last file, see how the brushes perform with any of the tools in Lightbox. If no issue, load your previous file. If the issue returns, there’s probably something up with your file.
Unfortunately in this situation it’s difficult to rule out technical issues from the low available memory, which could very well take the form of low program stability and glitching. Your program version is also out of date.
Hey Spydel, so i tried everything you mentioned and it all my brushes still dont work, even if i use a new polygon to test on…QwQ
Hey Spydnal, I cleared out some programs that are running behind and restart the program agn, this time , it worked! thank you for the help !!
