Hi
I’ve been working on a model and am at the stage of adding detail. However whilst using the slash2 brush and smoothing I’m getting a strange masking/shading going on.
The slash1 brush seemed to be fine, but I’ve found that I get the same issue but not as pronounced as the slash2 brush.
I have attached image of slash2 brush applied and an image after smoothing:
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks Mark
jsut clear all masking. then it should be ok. if mask does not appear maybe its poly paint and u have switched on mrgb.
or its jsut a bug. if it does not case any problems then just let it… change matcap or sth. maybe it disappears then.
or switch to m and remove zadd and zsub so u have no pressure on your brush, then u paint over it and look what happens, sometimes it works with displayproblems.
@ theMark, I’ve been ripping my hair out over this lately! have you figured out what the problem is?
seems like it has something to do w/ layers…
I’m unable to smooth within these mystery-masked areas which makes it more than just an annoyance.
@ZBRUSH, do you guys know about this??

Hi r_cal
I have to admit I moved to using other brushes after I had pulled out what ever hair I have left.
However I did notice that after Saving my work (File/Save As), quiting ZBrush and re-launching the strange masking didn’t appear when I opened the project (File/Open).
I havn’t worked on that particular model for some time, but after reading your post I did have another go with the slash2 brush and guess what - no masking, even on smoothing.
So try Saving your work, re-launch ZBrush, open your project and try again.
Let me know how it goes.
I am surprised no one else has joined this thread as I remember how frustrating this bug was. I am assuming it is a bug, nothing else makes any sense.
Try not to pull too much hair out or you’ll end up like me bald.
Good luck
Mark
