Hi:
I'm relatively new to Zbrush and completly new to this forum, so hi to everyone.
I was researching the new z-sphere feature of the new release of Zbrush, and decided to create a dragon using this tool. Everything went fine 'till I got to the wings part. I can't seem to achieve a good wings effect with z-spheres. Does anyone have tips on this subject???
Thanks.

Here are two links that come readily to mind. They may be of help. The best thing to do is experiment. When using ZSpheres these types of wings are best created by using Adaptive Skinning....set the membrane value to 100. Try drawing a simple wing and then put it in Preview Mode (hit the "A" on the keyboard). Try adding spheres and other appendages and see how it affects the way the membranes work. This is the best way to learn how the membranes and the child/daughter spheres will interact and affect the membrane.

Thanks
I'll try the tips to see which suits better my model. I'll let you know when my work is finished, and post the pic.

Really, Thanks very much.
