Zbrush: Cavity Mask

Eliteabix

Hey guys, dont know if this is a common issue or if im just completely missing something (Cant get anything out of Google). For some reason I cant enable "Cavity Mask", its just greyed out. Im using Standard brush with RGB enabled and Zadd/ZSub disabled. Ive tried restarting Zbrush too.

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried clicking on tool/ make polymesh 3D?

You could always reset everything by... preferences/ init ZBrush.

subdivide your model once, it doesn't work on the lowest subdvision level

its really stupid

@neox, what version of Z are you using? I have 4r3 and that isn't the case... you can mask by cavity with no subdivisions.

Neox

4r5

the question is, do you mean mask by cavity from the masking tab in tool. or maybe the brush feature. not sure about the one in the tool palette but but the brush automaksing doesn't work for me (or the while studio) on the lowest level.

Heh, Neox was right. What a weird limitation.

Anyway, cheers guys. Sorted.
