Weird stager issus

Hi

Im wondering if im doing something wrong or if there’s a weird stage bug…

When I go to change a subtools target stage but toggling the button on and off and moving it - the next time I switch stages it totally deforms the subtool in a weird way!

This only seems to happen for some subtools, whilst all the others work in the way id expect.

Ive tried everything I can think of but with no luck :frowning:

would anybody know what might be going on?

thanks for your help!

Hello Nick,

It’s hard to say for sure what might be the issue with out seeing it, if you could share a screen shot of a before and after of the problem.

My first guess might be is there any masks applied to the subtools that are behaving this way, I’m not sure if that would effect stager unless you had the mask on the mesh before a home and target stage was defined.

If you could share some screenshots might be more helpful troubleshoot.

Hi - thanks for the reply

here are a couple of images that might help explain. The first is an image of the subtool in its target stage position

.

If I toggle target off, move the suubtool to a new position, and then toggle the target back on, the next time I switch back to the ‘home’ stage, the subtool appears all deformed and skewed (the 2nd image). It only does this on a couple of my subtools. There’s no masking applied and no layers.

thanks again

The only other thing I could think of is maybe symmetry could me messing with them if symmetry was on when it was rotated in the center of zbrush I get some weird distortions, but still not to sure.

You may need to submit a ticket to support, I’m not as knowable as them their pretty quick to respond usually. I’m mostly just guessing what it could be.

also L Sym could mess with it to I think

No worries, thanks for your time. I think it must be a bug of some kind with the home stage. If I set the home stage again from scratch it all works fine (but that means I lose the staged position which id ideally not want to lose - although I guess I could try and carefully reposition it).
