Problems with adaptive skin adjustments?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi All,
I’m another newbie (I hate that word, sounds like a lower life form). Here is the first of many stupid questions. I’ve gone through some of the tutorials and had few problems. I’ve started my first model on my own. I need to give it a skin that nearly or exactly matches the brush as it is so close to the shape I wish to start with that all I want is a adaptive skin that matches. I’ve tweeked and proded the settings for hours with no luck. Can anyone help?
I should mention that due to being in Alaska I’m on boards at different hours than everyone else. It’s usually the next day before I can get back to look for answers or to reply.

The problem is that your model is not laid out at all well for adaptive skinning. I would strongly recommend viewing the ZScript tutorials about ZSpheres that come with ZBrush 2. Just click the Help button and follow the appropriate links. The tutorials cover such things as how the ZSphere is treated as a cube for skinning purposes – something that’s critical to planning your structures (and is where your, um, cheeks are running into trouble).

Thanks Aurick - I see what your getting at.
