Creating an Imageplane??

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Or I’m guessing it’s called an imageplane. I’ve done most of the lessons cannedmushrooms posted so I might have missed this one. In one of the lessons he’s showing how to make a skull. The lesson files have a skull seemingly drawn into the imageplane and I was curious if anyonw knew how to do that. Let me explain what I’m doing.

I’m opening a imageplane then importing the picture. the picture has a black background with the face I want to sculpt in the middle. So from there I i appended a 3d Sphere but the whole sphere seems to take on the color of the pciture and is all black and gray whereas cannedmushrooms never affected it and could see through it all. I apologize though I really don’t know how to explain it any better. Any ideas on how this is done? thanks in advance

thanks for the reply.

I came across that link last night but parts of it just doesn’t really make sense. it makes it seem like you have to be able to locate a front and side view of the image. I know though that if you are sculpting from a picture it’s very hard to find a perfectly aligned front and side view.

You might like to try the Image Plane 3 plugin . To model with a single image, just have a sphere (or other model) in Edit mode before using the plugin to load your reference image. The plugin will then automatically put the image behind your model. There is a slider for adjusting model transparency so you can see the reference.

HTH,
