quick zbrush question

fritz · Nov 2005

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.

thatnks

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..

***edit

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