Tilebale Textures and the Tilde Key in zBrush

JordanLeigh · Aug 2013

So, I'm trying to make a tileable alpha in zbrush using the method wear you get a snap shot from the 2.5 canvas.
The thing is when I go to use the 'tilde' key (~) to move the canvas about so i can fill in the gaps it doesn't let me.
Anybody know what could be wrong or if anyone has experienced this.

It's so frustrating

Any ideas? Tried holding down ctrl; alt; shift. All it seems to do it create another polymesh

Are you making sure you're "Edit" mode is turned off? And that you arent in any translation modes (move/rotate/scale), you have to have to be in Draw mode (Q) and then you can hold the ~ tilde key and left click drag to move the canvas. Should work fine.

Are you using a UK keyboard? In which case the key you need is ' (same key as the @ symbol)
