Cavity Map Bug ? - Zbrush 4 R2

[cgiink]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to go around this problem, but it seems that I can’t find an answer for this.
Am I doing this wrong or is really a bug?

After changing to Flat Color and pressing Mask By Cavity, everything seems to work so far so good. However, when I try to generate the cavity map by pressing New from Masking, my mesh turns all black with white dots and it only shows a tiny square. I don’t have this problem in Zb4, this only happens in Zb4 R2.

Appreciated if anyone could help me out here please.
Thank you.

Yes, it’s a bug. Confirmed from lot of users. Same will happen under masking palette/create alpha. Same with AO masking as well.
A solution for the moment is to mask cavity/invert masking (select a black color and fill) then clear mask and use texture from polypaint / export this. Similar for AO maps.
I hope pixo will fix this soon. Try this solution though, it isn’t hard or time consuming.

Hi michalis,

Thank you for your reply with the workaround solution. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have another problem, not sure if you would know about that one too.
After using goz to bring the model into Maya, I added some edge loops, but then when I bring it back to Zbrush, it asks if I want to transfer the high details. I press YES, but the details (pores and wrinkles) are not transferred.
Is this also a bug in zb4r2?

Once again, thank you.
