Transparency in Zbrush with a ref

peanut™

In zbrush how do you enable transparency with the floor option with either ghost or transparency ?

i know my way around zbrush to some extend by i rarely used this option for sculpting. I press transparency and my reference turns see-through, the ghost button is grayed out. This is what i have

Are you looking for the fill modes?

No not the fill modes who basically control the reference grid. I would like my sphere (object) to be transparent so i could match it with the reference.

Ok now i got it,

So i have my background ref and a sphere. I had to append a little object as a new subtool that i scaled (so little that you dont see it anymore) now the "ghost" button is enable. This lets me see-through my sphere but the background stay visible.

(to achieve this you need 2 or more subtools, as Zbrush wont let you use "ghost" with only 1 subtool. Makes sense after all.)

That's exactly what fill mode 3 does, while providing a lot more control over the effect of the transparency.

Thanks cryrid, i'm going to play with the settings and figure it out. I may have more zbrush questions, i hope you'll be around to answer them. This is appreciated.

Thanks a million.
