Alpha In A Curve Perfectly? (answered)

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello:
I tryed to put alpha or alpha mask in a curve objet, the problem is that where i put the next alpha match up with the next and a union line or the alpha object appears. I tryed radial face but not match up perfectly, tryed too with stencil but when i apply the drag rect the lines appers or the piece not loks great.
The alpha that i want to apply is the alpha 62 0f the alpha palette.
Any form to apply only the mask of the alpha directly in all the piece?
thanks in advance

You might like to try this method. You’ll need the little plugin in this post:

Install it and restart ZBrush. Then:

  1. Position your model so you can make the first stroke.
  2. Press the ‘3’ key on the keyboard. This switches on recording for the next stroke you make. (This is the same as pressing the Stroke>Inventory>Record button.)
  3. Draw the sculpting stroke exactly how you want. Don’t rotate the model at all.
  4. Press ‘3’ again to stop recording.
  5. Now set the Y Axis Rotation>Rot Incr slider to the value you want and press the Y Axis Rotation>Rotate button. The model will rotate.
  6. Press the ‘2’ key on the keyboard. This will replay the stroke drawing a new version of your alpha. (This is the same as pressing the Stroke>Inventory>Replay All button.)
  7. Press the Y Axis Rotation>Rotate button again and then ‘2’ again to repeat the actions. Repeat until the circle/arc is complete.

You’ll need to experiment a bit to get placement correct but this should enable you to do what you want.
