quick zbrush question

fritz

i have a creature i'm zbrushing. i want to work on the head only. i hide everything but the head right? however, now when i try to rotate around the head...the ENTIRE model rotates. i lose the head in the window very easily b/c the "camera" is rotating around the entire model. does this make sense? i need to be able to rotate only around what is not hidden.

thanks!!!

Pressing the "Delete" key should do a "Zoom Extents" on the unhidden area, and should set the point of rotation to the centre of the unhidden area.

So press "Delete"

could there possibly be some pref setting i should know about? i hide everything but the head. press delete. i still get the same crazy effect.

Oh, sorry, I didn't fully check that out - you should set the "Local" button too, like Jay Evans recommended here.

The "Local" button is on the bar to the right of the viewport canvas.

press p to set pivot when what you want to rotate around is centered or click the set pivot button the right hand side, it is located under the local transformation button..

actually you dont even have to cent the object.. just press it when everything but what you want to rotate around is centered..
