ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey guys,

once in a while I do have a question I cannot find an answere to. Maybe one of you can help me.
I do have a model of a tree done in zbrush and I would like to add leafs, but I dont want to position every one. Instead I was wondering if it is possible to, lets say make a leaf as object or subobject and “paint” it on the tree like “insertMesh” or something?
Does this make sense?

Thanks for helping me out

Yes, you can insert any mesh into the Mesh Insert dot brush (or any custom mesh insert brush), via the

Brush>Modifers>Mesh Insert Preview window.

You will still have to “position” each one to some extent to get the best results, but this will make the process of drawing them out and roughly posing them much faster.
