Note for Previous Users
From ZBrush Info
If you are already a ZBrush user, please read this important information regarding several changes in ZBrush 4.0.
- The Standard brush now has Lazy Mouse activated by default. If you want to revert it to its original behavior, disable Lazy Mouse in the Stroke palette.
- The Alt Key is now the alternative operation for hiding polygons as well as for masking. For example, start to draw a marquee to hide polygons outside the marquee. Then if you want to switch the marquee to hide polygons inside it, release the CTRL+Shift shortcut without releasing the mouse button and press the Alt key.
- CTRL+Alt is the new shortcut to assign hotkeys.
- Several hotkeys for selecting brushes with the ABC mode have changed. As an example, the shortcut to call the Move brush was B,M,V in ZBrush 3.5 and is now B, M, B in ZBrush 4.
- To customize your interface when Preferences >> Custom UI >> Enable Customize is on you will now need to hold CTRL+ALT to move any interface buttons.
- If you are used to using the [ and ] keys to change brush size you can now set the increment through the Brush Increment slider in the ZPlugin>Misc Utilities menu. When the brush size is less than 10 the size is always changed by increments of 1, whatever the slider setting.
- Lightbox textures and alphas are loaded into Spotlight by default. Hold Shift and double-click to load into the Texture or Alpha palette. Grayscale images must be single channel files (8bit or 16bit) to load into the Alpha palette. ZBrush will only load TIF files that it has created.
