Hello mates, I was following a tutorial and after I click the option “Groups Split” so I could work with my polygroups in a separately way, the sculpting brushes stopped working. Any ideas?
I can use the “move” brush but I can’t make any sculpting. So I can’t continue the tutorial and I don’t really know how I’m going to work with “Groups Split” in other projects.
Here’s the link of the tutorial. My problem starts at 9:31 in:
I can’t skip to 9.31 on that vis so I’ll take a guess. Are you using spotlight? If so, then you have to disable ‘spotlight projection’ in the Brush palette Samples rollout.
Also, when you use split groups don’t forget to select your newly created sub-tool or you will still be trying to sculpt your new mesh whilst it isn’t the active sub-tool.
Hello! I’m new and I don’t really know how to answer you specifically, so I just replied your comment I guess. (don’t know if that’s the right use)
First of all, Thanks a lot! You nailed it! I was using Spotlight for a reference. So I deactivated the “Spotlight Projection” option and voilá! Problem Solved!
One question, what’s the use of “Spotlight Projection”? I can’t quite understand it.
Spotlight projection is generally used when you want to use textures as floating reference images on the canvas. So the button(when disabled) effectively tells Zbrush that you don’t want to paint with the image.
