Got a few questions if I may...

[bodgy]

Does anyone know if you can weld 2 zspheres together - on the same object ??
I am aware you can weld 2 zsphere objects together - but 2 spheres on the same object ?? Example would be to make a donut with zspheres (dont ask why - its just an example). Can the first and last zsphere be 'joined / welded / whatever' as 1 ??

Other question is making 'webbed wings' (ala bat wings or in my case dragon wings) in zspheres - as in how ???
I can create the 'bone' structure easily enough - change the MBR to a looser value so it spreads - but get nothing like what I am after....
Am I missing something obvious ??

Ummm - dats all for now - me think....

Hi Bodgy
For the bat wings see here (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/showcase/getthumbs.shtml?0_ZSphere_Tutes&linkall) the tut of ken B "Membrane curvature" :)
I think you can't merge 2 Zspheres :( Just take the same place :)

For a donut take the "Tore3D" it's very more easy :)

Thanks Pilou - I'll look at the MBR.pdf.

As to the donut - that was just an example, I could have said making a triangle, square, cube etc. Was just something to try explain what I meant.

I come from more traditional 3d progs - LW n somewhat Maya and am used to welding/merging points etc in my models. The workflow in ZB is so different am just trying to get to grips with it. Have had a quick play with zspheres only sofar.

Hi Bodgy
Look at this (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010148&p=2) on the bottom page
There is a good example of what Zsphere and after mode "Edit" can make for sculpting a beast :)
Of course not the "displacement map" because it's prototype :)
