Referencing model in Zbrush?

[system]

Hey guys …

I dont know if the headline is clear enough …Soo here it is what am looking for … is there a way that I will pose subtool into right position and than when I want I can work on the original one with symetry option and just transfer all changes into posed one? See …like I make a sword and pose him into the hand …but than decide to make some adjustments soo I will do them on original tool with help of symetry and than just transfer those changes into posed one?

Thanks in advance … i hope there is some nice workaround

here you are mate. http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Transpose_Master

also you might want to look into this i think it is more for animation inside zbrush.

hey man erm yer i see what ya mean, there are 2 ways i think u can get by this besides the mentioned method above. you can use a layer in zbrush, so create a new layer and pose the hand the way you want. with this you can turn the layer on and of when you want. allowing you to sculpt after posing and you can keep going back and forth.

opposably symetry is another way of doing it, you can turn it on in the tranformation menu, under acivate symmertry, that uses ur topology and then works on both parts of the model, so u can pose the one hand, turn on opposably symmetry and them get sculpting on the other hand and hopefully it shud transfer over. well give it a go hope it all works for ya.

gotta be carefull with rotation and posing with layers and details as this can happen.

I’ve loved some of ZB4s new features but I am having some issues. The following screenshots to illustrate …

When moving or posing the subtool I used the lowest subD and transpose rotate tool with a mask. When switching to the highest subD I find the resulting mesh artifacts. They are hard edges that mimic the low poly mesh.

I think I understand why it fails, as the detail is missing the rotational info from the first layer … but can anyone suggest another way to achieve the same effect as it would be useful in other areas of my ZBwork.

Thanks
