Topology Brush - how do you bridge/connect between seperate polys? [Answered]

ZBrush Usage Questions

Hey there,

How do you connect polygons which are seperate? You can extend a curve from an end point, but you don’t seem to be able to connect that to another poly. If this is the case. than the tool is somewhat limited at this point. Just wondering if I am missing something.

Cheers,
Matt

PS: I have read the PDF section on the topology brush and can’t seem to find anything.

I find it best to trim off the ‘tails’ and then connect the vertices directly:

  1. Hold Alt and draw across any tails to remove them.
  2. Draw new curves between vertex green circles.

Increasing the Draw Size a little can help snap the cursor to the vertices.

Thanks Marcus!

Ok I got it working by increasing the draw size. But it usually takes a few tries for it to snap properly. It would be cool if in future versions this was a little more fluid.

Ok,in another thread you suggested a draw size of 20. That solves the problem completely. Snaps in a predictable manner.

Sweet!
