036 ZBrush Spotlight 2.0 Basics

[@Mythmaker_theAnimator]

I rarely used Spotlight, and reserved the Z key for ZModeler. For those who wish to set a different hotkey to Spotlight wheel on/off, the right Spotlight button to Ctrl-Alt-Click on is not in the Texture menu - but in the Transform menu, right next to Gizmo 3D.

thank you for this video! super thorough and structurally clean !

To use Spotlight as a Ref tool without sculpting it accidentally: >Brush >Samples > Turn off Spotlight Projection (correct me if im wrong I accidentally found this)

You got it!

in mudbox you can edit stencil "distort the photo" i dont know if its here but its verry important

Great! Most clarifying tut on spotlight I’ve seen so far. Thanks

On the dial, it shows the button names for you when moused over, but it doesn't do that for me. Do you know if there is a setting for this? There is no mention of it in zbrush docs and the two posts about it in zbrushcentral have not been answered.

just wondering why mine isn't painting the whole texture but instead is treating the texture like a brush tip and kina of splatting it like photoshop's mixer brush?

hello why i use spotligt， the picture when i import ,the black color in it is show Transparent and the other color is normal?

Do you know what I can do if I have "z" assigned for another thing (Damstandar brush) and how can I switch between sculpting and spotlight to have another hotkey?

[@joaovitormr471]

Thank you! Amazing

[@luciddream2249]

changed z key to move and i cant find gizmo mode ....ahhhh

[@MichaelPavlovich]

sorry I missed this, but just in case you don't get the above reply, the edit spotlight (button for "Z") is in the transform menu, at the top beneath move and next to the gizmo toggle!

[@Marcresus]
