ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi Guys,

I’ve recently started using Zbrush and I can say that I am really impressed by the results I get from it. Unfortunatley I stumbled against a frustrating problem:
I just modelled some lips on a surface and I want to combine them with another body I modelled in Solid Works (This part has been exported as a OBJ)
Now I managed to put both parts on the same window, by using the subtool feature. Now my problem is the follows: The part I exported as an obj, is significcantly bigger than it should be and I need to scale it down, but ZBrush won’t let me. Is there a way of scaling parts down when they are in the subtool feature?

Any suggestions?

thank you

You can manually position/scale/rotate subtools with the transpose tools.

You can also use some of the options in the deformation palette to the same effect, in a less direct, but more numerically specific fashion.

I will give this a go tomorrow morning. I will let you know how it went.

Thank you sooo much for posting this reply to me in such short notice. I’ve managed to get bothe parts together and scale them down to the right size.Everything you suggested worked smoothly. I also got some tips of how to combine the two bodies with the transpose master. Unfortunatley I couldn’t combine them together because the body modelled in Solid Works has a very odd mesh and by the time transpose master lowered the resolution, it basically ‘‘exploded’’ the part…I rendered the image in photoshop and removed all the unwanted lines. In the end I got what I needed…:slight_smile:

Thank you again for the tips
