ZB4R2 Dynamesh Union Sub acts as Union Add instead with Insert brushes

i know how to subtract with insertbrush

but it doesnt subtract with merged subtools
when i press sub button dynamesh below
it only adds no matter zsub or zadd turned on or pressing alt when picking insert mesh or append and merge

i think its bug or missing part like auto cavitymask in previous version
wait until they fix

Same here! Has anyone figured this out? I’m driving myself nuts here
trying to get a custom mesh insert brush to subtract correctly!

I HAVE SOLVED IT!

Hi Charles, thanks for the great video. Very helpful.

One thing that I’ve noticed.

If your using a high resolution mesh for the insert brush (which is often the case for complex custom brushes) - if you attempt to cut into a lower resolution sphere, I think ZBrush gets confused and assumes that the higher resolution mesh must be the main model that you want to cut into.

If you increase the resolution of the sphere and try again, it works correctly without the need for any hacks.

So I think ZBrush uses the following logic (Lower res mesh cuts into higher resolution mesh). So that’s obviously going to cause problems if your cutting tool is more dense than the object it’s supposed to cut into.
