Hi i am self learner in zbrush … i have a question i was trying to find a way to draw the earth planet and extude it from the sphare …
i wanted to do it by masking but is there a better way like using the alpha masking plz help
thank you
The easiest is to take a Mercator projection height map of the earth (which you can very quickly find via a Google search) and import that into the Alpha palette. Assign spherical UV mapping to a sphere and Tool >> Masking >> Mask by Alpha. Now you simply use an Inflate or Size deformation to get the 3D results.
will i appologize but is it work also on cylinder shapes as well , and can u give the steps how to do that or a video shows that
coz i am trying to do that but unable to make it so greatfull for ur answer
thanks
