ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Is it possible to retain all the handling curves for the drawn IMM brush to edit or control it later? if it’s possible how to access those curves? if not is there any work around to achieve this ?

Is it possible to handle the subdivision locally via brush palette or stroke palette? I just created very compact IMM brush with a lowest polygon count possible so that I control it smoothness later as I require. but now only one way it’s possible,it is to subdivide the brush and any main underlying geometry together.Is there any workaround to achieve this ?perhaps via sub tool or layers?

Off-topic:how to stop auto-load of light box?

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

No, it’s not. Once you draw the next one, the previous one is deleted.

Once you draw the IMM, the underlying mesh will be masked. You can then go to ‘Tool > Subtool > Split’ and click ‘Split Unmasked Points’ which will make the IMM it’s own subtool.

Go to ‘Preferences > Lightbox’ and disable ‘Open At Launch’ then save the Config (Ctrl + Shift + I).

thanks for your reply :)what if I save each curve in a different layer then what happens? will the curve controllers retain?

just one more question is it possible to create snap IMM brush curves? just like CurveTubeSnap ?
