Making a bullseye pattern?

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Greetings,

I haven’t posted in awhile and was wondering if I get some help with a
problem I ran across while trying to make a
bullseye target.
The image illustrates the problem I was having when trying to create the bullseye using the selections.
I wind up with a gradient pattern instead of clearly defined alternating rings of color

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

hmm I wish i could awnser but i don’t have enough experience :frowning:

I’m away from my own computer, but I think it’s under Tools -> Modifiers -> Texture

Look for a button labeled “Grd” for gradient and turn it off

or, modify the texture map’s size to bigger one for better resolution.

Also make sure that your simple brush is set to square brush instead of spherical brush.

hi ArtGraf! here is what i would do (sorry - the script i recorded is going astray at one point, so heres a written step by step):

draw default circle like you have done

selection submenu: mask all; sel=1; skp=1; apply row

colour: fill with white

selection: inverse

colour: fill with red

selection: clear

okay, looks like yours when pf is off, right?

while the bullseye is still active, go to texture submenu in tool modifiers and press col>tex - this will create a texture in the texture palette. hover with the cursor above it to read its size. it was 16 by 8 in my case. in case the same is valid for you, clear and resize the canvas to a 2:1 ratio (much bigger than the created texture, like 600:300 for example). select flat material. fill canvas with texture. choose the mrgbz-grabber and grab all of the canvas to create a bigger (hi-res) texture. clear canvas. recreate your circle and apply new (bigger) texture - voila :slight_smile:

hope this helps! there might be easier ways but thats all i could think of for now :smiley:

Thanks to everyone for the collaborative
problem solving. I turned off the grid button in the texture menu
after reading the suggestions and
it seemed to solve my problem.
I’ve been working with Z-Brush going on 2.5 years and I visit zbrushcentral often and learn new techniques.
After seeing LOTR: Return of the King I was inspired to make an arrow and needed a bullseye to go with it.
Anyway here’s the simple image I was working on. Enjoy! :slight_smile:
