Where's the button to turn on the spotlight wheel?[Answered]

ZBrush Usage Questions

The default hotkey is Z, but I use Z for something else and apparently overwrote the default binding… I’d like to rebind it to another key, but I don’t know where the button is so I can ctrl+alt+click on it.

Herein lies the problem of not having a proper hotkey binding interface :expressionless:

note: I know where the button to turn on spotlight is (default hotkey shift+z), that’s not the problem. The problem is that when I turn on spotlight the control wheel does not appear, and I need to rebind the command that will toggle it on and off.

Thanks!

hrm… i found something under Preferences->Lightbox->Restore Spotlight, but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

I have spotlight turned on, and when I hit that button the wheel does not appear, so i guess that’s not it…

It seems to me that you have to add an image into Spotlight first before you can turn it on and off.

i’m talking about the spotlight wheel itself… i have images in my spotlight. I know how to turn spotlight on and off (there’s a button in the texture dropdown for it). The problem is, once you have added an image to spotlight, and you close spotlight, when you reopen it- the wheel is not there.

By default there is a separate hotkey (Z) that turns the wheel on and off. I need to know where that button is, so I can rebind it.

Oh Oh! As far as I know, there isn’t a button to turn the Spotlight widget on an off. If you have bound Z to something else then you might be out of luck unless you go to default mapping and start over.

yeah for now I’ve just removed my custom keybinding and restored the default Z. kinda lame, but what can ya do :stuck_out_tongue:

The “Edit Spotlight” button is in the Transform palette, to the left of the Snapshot button.

HTH,

Hmmm…Now why wouldn’t that button be in the Texture palette? It even looks like it would belong beside the other Spotlight buttons in the Texture palette. IMO, having it in the Transform palette is just lame.:wink:

My appologies testure, I didn’t know it was there.
