Zbrush: Can't switch back to Standard Brush.

Joopson

Hey guys, weird issue here.
Once I switch away from the Standard Brush, it won't let me switch back... It just seems to ignore me.
I've tried switching it in every way, though different menus, etc, but no luck. So, as it stands, if I want to use the Standard brush, I just need to restart zBrush, and use it before switching to another brush.... Not very time-saving.
It... it seems like a recent issue. Or, I don't recall it happening as frequently until recently. I guess I don't use standard much anyway, except for polypaint....

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks so much.

Sounds like a weird issue, one I've never had and can't recreate. What happens if you clone the Standard brush first?

Joopson

Ah, well, I cloned it a few minutes ago, and the issue doesn't exist with the cloned version, and so that is definitely a good temporary fix.
Still, I'd like to know what the deal is, haha.
Thanks for the help, by the way. It's certainly an unusual error. I've never had an error like that before 4 r4

Are you opening your own project file by chance?
I sometimes lose the Undo function after opening a project file. but if I restart Zbrush and start out with a default Pixologic project file, then load mine I don't have a problem with the Undo.

Joopson

Interesting idea, but nope. I don't really use project files, I just load in ZTL files.

Totally unrelated , can any one tell me to switch the Two brushes Back and forth (like keyboard shortcut) ?

There's a way to setup brushes to correspond to the number keys; however, when I was first learning, I found it easier to use the B key. The B key calls up the brushes, whatever letter the brush starts with, you press (standard would be S), and then all brushes with the letter S appear (standard ends up being the letter T).

Standard Brush: B, S, T
Dam Standard: B, D, S
Move: B, M, V

You don't accidentaly set it as your smooth brush??
I sometimes have that happen, try holding shift, see if it switches to your standard brush, if it does hold shift and reselect the smooth brush.

hope it helps
