Well i been messing with zspheres and i cant seem to get a hang of it. Maybe its cause i cant do some of things i would like. Which is where i hope some of you guys can help me with. One being i how to get the same things to model/draw on the oppsite side of what im making so things are equal and even?
Also when i do make something how do i go about making it into polygons and not the whole zsphere look?
Also i see some materials that look like wet or really shiny marbal is that just a click away or some time to make?
Well thats all i have for now im sure i will have more later as i learn more but i hope you guys and gals can help
Thanks for your time and help

Once in edit mode use the X, Y and Z keys to turn on/off symmetrical transformation. They can also be found in the Transform palette when a 3d tool is selected.
To turn your Zshperes into a Polygonal object click "Make Unified Skin" or "Make Adaptive Skin" in the Tool:Inventory palette. Remember to frequently preview your object if trying to make an adaptive mesh. Press the 'A' key to preview.
I'm guessing the wet look material your talking about is the famous Toyplastic material, which is the material no. 5.

Though as Wenna said you should check out the quicklinks and also view some Zscripts tutorials.

Good luck.

I wish I could help you with all your questions but I'm not that hot with them either.
I would suggest you check out the Quicklinks, there is a link at the top of the page. Has the answers to all your questions and then some!
