chain

Can I make chains in zbrush and other complex objects like it and how?

That’s a pretty broad question, you’re going to have to be a little more specific. A simple chain is pretty easy. Start your first chain link with a torus, lengthen it a little, then just clone it down the Y axis and rotate the clones appropriately along their X axis until you have the length of chain you want. This sort of thing is a little tedious in ZBrush though.

In most situations I use 3ds Max to make chains because the cloning process is faster, and I have tools for deforming the final chain along a bezier line so I can shape it.

thanks!
