Are you saving as a Ztool or Zproject? If it's a Ztool then it will not save changes to the scene etc so reopening should fix it if it were an added light or changed material or some such. The other possibility is you've moved the colour slider on the left hand side. Move it back to the correct colour. Also if you go…
Worked on the face some more, learned a bit more about the whole zbrush sculpting workflow. It's getting there! I think the side profiles looks a bit goofy. I took a break from sculpting to block out the clothes. I used one of zbrush's female base mesh, scrapped the breasts, tweaked the proportions and got to work. Back…
Yes, variation came to my mind also (you got this far might as well go all the way with it). Can see the pattern on the green elements and it was a little meh to me, but otherwise i can understand how complicated these graphs can get. Makes me appreciate alternative sides of the production pipeline. Otherwise this is kind…
Hello, - Step 1 shows the manual cleanup to patch holes, using regular polygon modeling techniques. - Step 2 shows the individual thin chunks of terrain being extruded down to create thick slabs. The box under them was just used as a negative Boolean to even/flatten their bottom side, but this could be done with just…

Hi, all. I have a seemingly simple goal. I want to scale a tool within zbrush in a single dimension. For example in the image below I have a simple cylinder seen from the side. I want to make it longer, ie stretch it out. How can I do this? The Deformation pallate's Size slider would work, except that it uses a pivot point…
I don't seem to have this problem. I'm on the official 6.65a release. What do you mean by this? You can only use it once and then it doesn't work afterwords? If you mean to slide the edge after you have placed it, you can select the edge loop and use the edge slide tool (Edges menu [shift + E or the Mesh menu at the…
Everyone's crits were entirely right. The base shape was far too flat and boring, and I had done far too much with one piece of geo (which also made the original take far longer than it should have). I also took the chance to change one thing from the concept that bothered me: that stupid, useless handle behind the front…
Titan of the West “At the Western edge of the world stands a giant guardian, ever facing the wind, ever vigilant. It will not allow you to cross the edge of the world. It controls the winds with it’s magic sword and will send you homewards if you near the border of oblivion.” Well that is obviously a problem for anyone…
Yeah, good point. I think with my lecturing role there is a lot of middle mouse wheeling up and down marking chats and reveiwng PDFs/blogs/emails and so on. That could be the issue as it's causing my forearm extensors into some RSI. Mixed in with lots of last minute rushed clean up 3D modelling depending on how the last…
