Extracting design from mask/groups into closed object

[system]

My question is how to do something similar to this-

(i figured this out by doing subtool–>extract with a design)…pretty simple

I’d like to do this in zbrush, but is there a plugin for 3dsmax/c4d that does this faster? I feel like i’m missing something.

just make a mask then

tool.subtool.extract
mess with your settings until you get something you like
hit accept
