How to add body to a head

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Guys, first of all I m sorry if this is in the wrong place. I’m trying to find a place where i can post doubts on how to do things since I’m new to zbrush.

I started modeling a head out of a Polysphere. I’m really liking and now I’d like to continue with the body.

Is it possible to add the body to the preexisting head I’ve already modeled without the need to restart everything from scratch i.e head including body?

If so…how do i do it?

thx in advance

Yes, this is the wrong place.:wink:

I think it would be better if you´d post your questions in the
“Questions+Troubleshoting Forum” .

There´s also a brand new Support-Center( registration is very simple)

You´ll find more infos about the Support-Center here:

Regarding your question-it is possible. :slight_smile:

I never did that because I never had a seperate head,
but I hope the following links will help you.

You can append the body to your head as a SubTool if you have already modelled a body:
http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Appending_Subtools

Also you can build the body easily with Zspheres.Simply append a Zsphere (Tool:Subtool:Append-Zsphere).
With this method you can be sure the body will fit perfect to the head:
http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/ZSpheres_and_SubTools

You can combine both SubTools (only if you want to) with different methods.

Combining SubTools with “Insert mesh”:

Topology ( I´m not sure if this is the correct link for combining. If somebody knows another please let me know…or better-let nico know :slight_smile: and post it here)

Merge the SubTools together (Note:you´ll need the “SubTool Master Plugin” it´s also useful for a lot of other things.).
You can download it here:
