OSX and Zbrush 4r7: model opacity is not working in a consistent manner

Hi folks,

New zbrush user here and I’m just coming to grips with the workflow of the tool. One thing that seems to be working (or not working) inconsistently, though, is the model opacity slidery. I’ve setup a background reference plane from the Draw -> Front-Back palette. I then went into the Texture palette and set my model opacity to 50, and all that seems to happen is that my current tool becomes darker instead of more transparent. I could swear that I had this working last night.

As a side note, I’ve also noticed that draw polyframe does not work at all for me in the 64 bit version of 4r7, so I’m stuck using the 32 bit executable for the time being.

Under Draw> Fill Mode there are different settings on the slider (Hold down the Ctrl button while you hover over the icon, it will explain)

Aha! It was the functionality of the ‘front’ button that was tripping me up. Thank you for your reply! :+1:
