Adding a weapon to model?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I created a sword while following the tutorial. But when I try to append it to my subtools for my model only part of the weapon shows up. If I try to move it it distorts the heck out of my model. So I thought maybe merging the items of the sword would be the way to go, but anytime I try that I get an error message
“zscript interface item not found” popup: mrg #1_PMD_cube 3D_1 In…[press,[ str merge, “popup.”, [var, clonename]]]

It doesn’t matter what part of the sword I have selected in subtools, I still get the same error only with the name of whatever part is selected.

Sorry guys, I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions, but I tried to figure this one out on my own…to no avail :cry: .

perhaps you need to merge the sword. combine all the sword subtools into one? then import/append that object as a complete subtool.

#3

I did that, but it loads the sword fused into my other model. If I move either it distorts.

#4

Any other ideas?

Hey Mudpitt,

honestly from your description i don’t really understand your problem, but when moving your subtool distorts your mesh, that means that parts of your model are masked, so clear the mask (ctrl+shift+a) and try it again. It should work. If it doesn’t, a little bit of information or a screengrab might help …

lol, thank you buster :D, I didn’t think either item had a mask but I guess they did, problem solved. Now I feel completely stupid :frowning: .
