i have a few questions...i don't know how to use or make magnets with Zspheres. i also don't know how to make something with zspheres, make an alpha for it, repose the figure and then put the alpha back on it. Pixolator has often shown pictures using the latter technique, but i don't know how to. please help.

to make the magnets, just alt-click in edit/draw mode on the linking chain between the sphere and the one before. only last spheres in a chain can be a linking sphere.

the size of the magnet-sphere shows its radius of influence, the distance how strongly it pulls.

you can use the magnet-spheres to make flat ends or to distort the mesh. its a good idea to preview often.

as to the alphas, i usually draw them with texturemaster. maybe there is another method, but i do not know of.

hope that helps.
