Problems with Simple brush and textures

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all, I was going through the forums but could not find an answer for this. Sorry I’m a noob, I just started playing with zbrush yesterday in preparation for learning maya, and I’ve noticed that when I try to apply a basic texture from the menu nothing happens, and I’ve adjusted every setting I can think of. Also sometimes when I start with the simple brush I get a series of squares instead of the correct brush stroke. Maybe I’m just an idiot, I’ve been following every tutorial I can find.

thank you very much for any help!

Using v. 3.12

i dont use 3.12 so I can’t help with the texture…i know they changed the way textures work inside 3.12.

but the simple brush just doesn’t have it’s alpha applied for some reason. go to the alpha button and apply alpha 1…or at the end of the list is usually the default alpha for the brush. change that and you should be good on the stoke.

In 3.12, to apply a texture map to a model click on the blank thumbnail in the Tool>Texture Map submenu and then choose the texture from the popup.
