Is it possible to replace a tool or subtool while keeping layers?
Hello @Zarathustra
It depends on what you mean by “replace”.
You can’t change or delete the underlying geometry the layers are based on directly, but you can project detail in Zbrush from one mesh to another, as long as they occupy mostly the same world space (only the topology differs). So you could project the detail from your mesh with a specific layer or layers active, onto a different version of that mesh, or onto that different mesh with a recording layer active.
If I’ve misunderstood what you want to do, please explain in more detail.
Yes, that’s what I ended up doing. I thought maybe there was an easier way.
Thanks!
