If I try to replicate the ZProject video from ZClassroom in the Essentials area, I get no projection at all. I mean I don’t get the 3d detail to be transfered from the head mesh to the 3Dplane.
I have replicated the video in ZBrush 3.1 and it works, so I guess I am not doing anything wrong, unless something has changed…
Has anyone sucessfully projected 3D detail in ZBrush 3.5 r3?

Works for me. Are you sure ZADD is on for the Zproject brush? Its not on by default.
What are the steps you are taking, exactly?
I had noticed that ZAdd was off and I have turned it on but nothing happens.
Step by step:
.Start ZBrush
.Create Plane3D
.Go to Edit Mode
.Turn Plane into Polymesh
.Subdivide plane twice
.Load Tool DemoHead
.Go to Subtool and append the Polymesh plane
.With the plane subtool selected, I pick ZProject
.Go to move mode and create a transpose line starting somewhere on the plane surface and drag it to the side of the face of “DemoHead”
.Go to Paint Mode and start painting on the plane surface - nothing happens.
If I turn Zadd on, the same happens…
I do the same in ZBrush 3.1 and it works well.
I don’t understand what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Ah. It might be the Transpose step that is tripping you up. I can’t comment on this, as I never used the transpose_zproject functionality, but I have seen other people report that it is not working. I dont know if it works differently now, is bugged, or it was simply removed because it was considered redundant.
In any event, just turn on transparency, position the head where you would like to transfer the deatil onto the grid, and paint over it on the grid with Zproject.
Spyndel> Well, your method works :))
At least now I have a way to do it! So I am in a better position than before. 
Thanks for the help!
