Tight rotation tutorial needed....

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Have a question. How does one rotate just one object on a very limited axis? I have masked off the rest of the prop I made but wanted to make a rotation morph for the “LightBar” part of the prop so it can be aimed. I’ve made an in and out morph for it using the “Move” tool and that worked out fine but when using the “Rotate” tool on the top bar it deforms the LightBar badly making that not acceptable to me. I looked under the Transform menu and there is a Set Pivot Point but tried that with no results. So is there a way to make a nice tight rotation for this part of the Prop? If so, please post a how to.

Thanks so much

Richard

Deformation pallette, rotate slider or type in value, guessing you only want the y axis enabled. Buttons are small.

#3

Yea, I did check that out but it had it rotating way out of range, I need the rotation to be tight, so it’s rotating on it’s own axis. Is there a way to set that up?

#4

Maybe view from top looking down and click on its center for the end of the transpose line while rotate is selected. Maybe that should be a separate subtool.
