Curve mode with alpha

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to use curve mode with alphas such that a I can create a repeated embossing around the circumference of a cylinder?

I managed to get it working once except the alpha was not auto-orientating around along the normals of the surface. It was just pointing the same way in 3d space all the may around.

Thanks for any help here

I don´t think this is possible. If want to use alphas you can use the lazy Mouse feature to have some control over the distribution. But not as a curve does. If want to use curve i think you can create your embossed alpha as a geometry. Alpha>Make 3D. Then refine a little the sculpt and create the IMM for use with the curve mode.
