Looking for a brush to do this.

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to achieve what is on the LEFT side of the picture. Unfortunately, using the standard DragRect approach, results in the RIGHT side of the picture.

Normally, for most brushes, the depths are added on top of whatever is currently on the surface. This results in what is shown on the RIGHT. But what I’m looking for is an “intersecting” effect, which is shown on the LEFT. I’ve been messing with the standard brush’s depth settings, including the Depth Mask and I’ve not been able o get a good result.

Currently, In order for me to get the LEFT result, I use the Zproject brush or simply project, which is slow. I want to be able to use the brush’s DragRect function with a custom alpha.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Regards

Use the Layer brush and make sure you store a Morph Target first.

Thanks for the tip. It’s very useful in many cases!

However, what can I do if the current surface already has a form that I’d like to intersect with? It was there before I could store the Morph Target.

Is the Zproject brush my only option?

Well you could store a Morph Target if you have a version of the mesh before sculpting. Simply store the Morph Target, import the unsculpted version then press Tool>Morph Target>Switch before using the Layer brush.

Thanks. I guess that’s the best way for now.

Thanks for your time.
