Forcing symmetry on a zsphere armature...

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m new to zbrush and loving it. The zsphere is almost worth the cost alone.

Is there some way to force symmetry on a zsphere armature after the armature is done?

For instance, if I accidentally forgot to turn on symmetry and moved a lot of things around, could I then select the correctly posed side and mirror that pose on the other side? I’m a Blender guy for the most part and it has a smart copy and paste function. Is there something similar in zbrush?

Is there some way to make one of the included mannequins switch on the skin with the “A” key like with a zsphere armature?

Thanks.

Not on the ZSphere armature itself, unless you manually line up all the zspheres, but you can restore symmetry after you have made it a skin with the ‘Mirror And Weld’ button in Tool > Geometry.

Not a 100% sure what you mean here, but turn off ‘Use Classic Skinning’ in ‘Adaptive Skin’ submenu.

Thank you. Switching off “Use Classic Skinning” did the trick.
