Duplicating a Zphere branch in a tree

I’m trying to make a tree in ZBrush, but I’m tired to makes one by one all my branches

I’ve searched for hours a method to duplicate a part of my tree
For instance I have a node where is attached a branch of my tree
I just want to clone that branch to get at that node the beginning of two branches

It will speed up considerably my production and open much possibilities :wink:

(As I’m a French user, please excuse my poor English :confused:)

Have you got some solutions ?

you can’t copy zspheres from one piece to another.

what you can do is create a mesh out of the tree branch that you’d like to be able to clone. Make that a subtool, and place them around where you would like.

you can then take all of the tree branches and trunk and do a remesh all to give you a unified mesh that you can sculpt on.

Ok, but in this case don’t I lose the Zsphere flexibility ?

Because I’m here talking of generating a base mesh
And I cannot get a tree with all the same branches
Same hierarchy ok, but exactly the same shape is more difficult
