hey, i was working on my 1st Zbrush model late last night so i decided to save it and carry on 2day when i went to open up my .ZBR model i can only work on it in a 2.5D state and i have NO clue how to drop it back into a 3d state to carry on working on it, any help would be appreciated
Regards, Makka
Saving a “document” only saves the canvas…any 2.5 D information,lights, mats, etc. 3D objects are saved as tools, and must be loaded into the scene separately.
More info in the Zbrush documentation:
so the work that i saved as a seen in a 2.5d state cant be turned back into a 3d state so ill have to start again?
If you did sculpting work on a tool (3d mesh), and did not save that tool (.ztl), yes it is gone.
This information is all fairly basic, and covered in the “getting started” section of the Zbrush documentation.
