"Transp" stop working.

ZBrush Artworks

Hey all,

I’m on 4R8 but this has happened on and off for years and previous versions.

  • I have several subtools in my scene file.
  • I can click on transparent and one of the tools becomes ghosted (as it should).
  • Along the way I either make dupes of the tool so I can make interations, OR I make a “save as” work file (so like Dog01. dog02. dog03,etc)
  • At some point the transparency function stops working. I click on Transp as usual only this time the second object just vanishes! If I click it again that object reappears. No transparency/ghosting.
  • If I am working on file Dog04 and I reopen and older file of Dog01, the subtools in Dog01 will become transparent while the ones in Dog07 will NOT. Not sure what happend over time but the transparent function just stopped working. Not sure if accidentally hit the wrong hotkey.

Anyone have this issue where sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn’t?

Thanks,
Alan

That’s very odd. Can you share a project where it’s happening?

Hey there, sorry for the LATE reply. After dealing with this for years I have solved this issue!

  • If you have more than on layer the transparent/ghost does not work.
  • As soon as I delete layers and get back to 1 layer the trans function works as normal.

Test this for yourself and tell if this is the same for you?

Thanks!
Alan

No, I can’t reproduce this. Adding layers makes no difference for me. Which OS are you on? I tested on Windows 8.1.
