How can I make Z springs?

[syco26]

I don't know if it has been asked before but is it possible to make springs in ZBrush? :confused:

Hi syco,

You can use the Spiral3D and Helix3D tools in 1.23b to make springs.

With the Helix3D Tool, simply adjust the radius graph in the TOOL:Modifiers:Initialize Subpalette to be completely horizontal to make the typical spring.

With the Spiral3D Tool, adjust the Start and End Displacement sliders in the TOOL:Modifiers:Initialize Subpalette to elongate the Spiral into a spring.

Here's a Pixolator tutorial that will teach you how to make ZSprings from a cylinder! ;)
