Spotlight wheel not showing in 4 r2 ... SOLVED

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi guys.

Was wondering if anyone else had this problem in 4 r2. Where the spotlight wheel does not come up.
I tried it in 4 and it works just fine but 4 r2, it just does not come up or show, Ive tried reinstalling but no luck.

Any ideas:)

Thanks

Do you have Spotlight turned on in the Texture Pallet? It is off by default in Z4R2.

Hey mate:)

Thanks for the reply.

When I go into texture tab and say load spotlight, there is nothing to load, I cant find a file I need to load.
Any ideas how to load it please.

Thanks

Hi, I’ve been having the exact same problem, double click textures and spotlight doesn’t appear in Zbrush 4R2, still works in Zbrush 4 fine. What can be done to solve this?

The “add to spotlight button” is just an icon, silly me was looking for a text button, the fact that it’s deactivated by default threw me off a bit.

Actually the Add to Spotlight button works if you have a texture loaded. So when you double click on an image in Lightbox it is loaded as a texture by default. With that texture selected in the Current Texture box hit the Add to Spotlight button and it will load in Spotlight and turn on the Spotlight button. The next images that you load will also be added to Spotlight until you turn off the Spotlight button.
