Hi,
I am doing the “The Making of Time for Art” tutorial in the Digital Sculpting>Dynamesh section of the classroom.
I’m having trouble with the slice tool, I’m trying to create separate pieces of geometry as you can see in the tutorial still to the right but my mesh is not splitting properly as you can see in my model to the left.
Can someone please tell where I am going wrong here?
Befopre u use the slice tool u have to click groups button on , then use the slice tool and hit cntrl twice and it will seperate the top and bottom half of the phere then use the trnsformation tool (w key) hold cntrl and click on the top half or bottom half of th sphere to highlight one of the parts then use the middle circle to move it any direction .
Hope that helps
Hello, CdeV. Are you using ZBrush 4R6? By some reason, the way Slice Curve works in this version has changed, I wonder if it has something to do with the new Groups capabilities in DynaMesh. Anyway, if you perform the same operations that would work in ZB4R5, you get just what you are showing… The sliced mesh doesn’t separate.
The workaround is kinda strange, but very simple. You just have to activate Colorize in the tool you are trying to slice. I am figuring out why, but it works.
If you use Auto Groups in Polygroups after the first unmask it also works, but the produced edge is usually sawtooth shaped. It makes me think that the slice curve creates an extra polygroup in the surface of separation (where the cut is produced), so that when you try to move one of the portions, that polygroup remains in its place and you can’t entirely separate the mesh.
Hope this works for you!
thanks so much for your reply Marzalet , those two methods totally work 
You’re welcome! Glad to know it worked.
