zbrush invisible mask?

Maximiliaan

There seems to be some sort of mask on my mesh which is not displayed. When I try to use the deformation size, only one edge seems to be sized up and the rest is left as it is.
I can do everything else with the mesh, only just not use any deformergs.





this happens when I try to size it up on the highest subdevision level.


I have already tried,
Clear mask in the masking tab
Clear maks using crtl+alt
Making the entire mesh

Would you be willing to share the ztl? (wouldn't need to include all the subdivision levels, just the lowest one and maybe the next few)

cryrid - Thanks for the reply and wanting to look at it, I have uploaded ztl with the first 4 subd here: [link removed]

if you would like a different upload site, please let me know which one. I only know this one.

The mask was visible in that area when I opened the file, but it still didn't want to go away. I had better luck:

1. isolating an area (ctrl+shift)
2. masking a portion that is visible
3. unhiding the rest of the tool
4. clearing the mask from there

Wow that actually worked. Thanks allot cryrid!

I've had similar problems with masks being active but not showing the visibility. Usually you can see if it is masked and not showing the mask by looking at the subtool icon on the Tool bar. The subtool icon will look darker, confirming that it is masked. Ctrl-Shift A will not work to unmask, instead you have to manually click on the Clear button under the Masking menu.

The reason I've had this happen is when you have a mask on a layer and have a multiple layers at different subdivision layers. Somewhere in between when switching between subdivisions and turning layers on and off, the mask gets stuck.
