Hey all, i really like zbrushes sculpting and detailing abilities but i very much dislike the current zsphere system so i wondered if there were any programs dedicated to blocking a mesh with zsphere type things, i just feel zbrush hasnt perfected this feature yet. does anyone know of any programs i would prefer free, but i dont mind paying if it is what i want.

zspheres are an excellent way to quickly block out a mesh. What is it about them that you do not like?
well, i love the fact that they block out mass very quickly i hate the fact that you can have somthing that looks amazing in zsphere mode then you press a and the whole thing just colapese, minimal to child helps but not too much.
When using zpsheres I am constantly going back and forth with preview mode to make sure that, that doesn’t happen. and using magnet zspheres can help you keep the shape that you want. Have you checked out Ryan Kingslien tut http://www.zbrush.info/site/index.php/ZSphere_Tutorial:_Biped_by_Ryan_Kingslien
cool, i accually think it is my lack of understanding of zspheres that is giving me the trouble, can anybody point me to some video tutorials or zscript tutorials about zspjeres?

They have some really good tutorials for getting started. They are free, they have audio, and large so they’re easy to view.
Enjoy.
