Perhaps a rather stupid question...but I just got a hold of ZBrush and would like to know if I have 2 Zbrush tools created...let's say "head" part and the "body part" of a ceature. How would i join the 2 of them together to be a new Zbrush tool.?
A sample or a graphical advice would be greatly appricaited.
By the way, this is my first attempt at sculpting and texturing in Zbrush. C&C welcome.
nice work for a first time
as far as I know, you can't merge tools to create a larger tool, but you can merge then into a composition. See the practical guide in the warrior model, there are several parts and a head which are being connected.
Draw and position your first object. It usually helps to hold down the Shift key while drawing so that you can ensure a rotation that's squared with the canvas.
Press M to place a marker.
Now draw and position the second one. Again, press M to place a marker.
Clear the canvas and select the MultiMarker tool from the Tool palette.
Drag on the canvas without actually clicking on your markers. The objects will be drawn as a group.
In the Tool>Modifiers you'll see a button to Make Polymesh. This will create a brand new tool in your palette that is the combination of the originals.
Note that this does not weld points. It simply creates an intersecting mesh.
