This gives better feedback while painting or adjusting materials. It also creates a black world background so only the light from the rig is present. The Quick Lights option generates a physical based lighting rig while in Cycles.
It takes liberties to ensure brushes deliver expected results by adjusting settings when needed. Zero Brush uses a custom brush menu combining Blender's most useful tools with special Zero Brush tools.
