ZSphere turns black?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’ve got a bit of a problem, just wondering if anyone can help.

I decided to create a boot. So my first step was to creat the boot shape using ZSpheres (three in total). divided to 6 and ‘Make Adaptive Skin’.

I then started creating other ZTools to Append to the boot. These consisted of a tool made from ZSpheres and primitives.

When I merge visible so that all the ZTools becomes one boot ZTool the original boot becomes jet black.

I’ve tried re-creating the original boot shape from ZSpheres and deleting the old boot shape but I keep getting the same result.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Identified the problem.

One of the subtools was effecting the main boot subtool on merging.

The only solution was to re-build the problematic subtool and append all over again for a final merge.

What a drag, but there’s no better way to get some extra practice.
