Adding to saved tools

Okay I’m making a strange naga/frog creature and I have the head/face perfectly sculpted and now I’d like to know how I’d add antennas to the creature and make them seamlessly fit into the head, instead of looking like they were just stuck in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not as easy as it sounds.

My approach would be to add the antennae as a new SubTool. I’d then sculpt the head to hide the transition.

Alternatively, you can export level 1 of the character to a more CAD-like modeler and add the antennae on so that they’re welded to the existing geometry. You would then need to import that back into ZBrush. Divide the new version to have the same number of levels as the original. Hide the antennae, then use Tool>SubTool>Project All to copy the sculpted details from the original version to the new version. You can then delete the original version.

For the Mac it’s a lot easier. See here: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=072510 PC users will get this with ZBrush 4 next month.
