Zbrush symmerty affecting you in real life? Serious question.

Z3NZY · Aug 2013

I've spoken to two other people who sculpt about this, and they say i'm crazy.
If I've been using zbrush for a while with symmetry, when i touch myself i get surprised when I don't feel it on the opposing side of my body.
Like i'll scratch my head, and feel nothing on the other side, and it's like "huh??? oh, duh."

Does this happen to anyone else.

This forum is really going downhill.

This can't be serious. The CTRL+Z stuff people talk about, I get. But there's no tactile sensation when sculpting so how would you miss it when scratching your head? What-evs, enjoy your thread.

And maybe see a shrink...

Hahahaha... I laughed so hard when I read this!

lol, man you guys are too serious. Obviously it must just be me.

I just asked here since where else am I going to ask a bunch of people who use Zbrush this question.

Well you asked a bunch of guys, they said you were crazy, some people here say you are crazy, what answer do you want? :P

The only cure is to take a hammer to your hand, you'll be in great pain but so relieved it didn't transfer over to the other one :thumbup:

Stromberg - I get if people here say i'm crazy too, I guess the "forum is going downhill" being the first thing I saw made me lose sight or something.

But yeah, honestly i'm just trying to find someone else who has the same "issue" to see if there are and common factors that might contribute to what causes this.
It's really weird. I seriously anticipate the touch. Imagine tapping your leg with a finger, and realising your hand is behind your back and it never happened. It's seriously weird.

Once after using zbrush for a couple days i turned on a tap, and did an internal face palm. The other tap won't turn on too.

Something like that was happening to me too.

Also the wanting to Ctrl + Z IRL mistakes and getting pissed because I cant. Just step back from the comp for a day or 2 or do some asymmetrical work

I've met a person who mentioned the Ctrl + z thing. I found that odd. It didn't make sense to me, but i guess I can sympathise now lol.

EDIT: Huh, I didn't know there was a thread with the same thing. I do now. So sorry for cluttering the precious, strict, and immaculate board. I'll try not to do it again.

Any way to delete the thread?

I get mad when I try to sculpt my gut into a six pack and it doesn't work. The best I can do is make my belly button look like a horizontal butt crack.

hmm, if something affects you in real life that means you are in to it too much. Or you must be suffering through some sort of disorder where one cant tell the difference between reality and virtual reality.

its not A.D.D so you have it consult your doc..OH LOOK A PURPLE ELEPHANT!! :poly142:

Pixologic's Zbrush Central?

I tried to ctrl+C Denise Milani and ctrl+V on my GF once.

I knew one ZBrush user that went to scratch their neck, but unfortunately had the real life clip brush turned on and ended up decapitating themselves. They were so young...
