ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi, sorry my english first.

1º - How do u create transparency at Zbrush? could u do any material transparent?

2º - Its there a way to cut or separate a figure boddy part? how u usually separate a model boddy part into several pieces?, how do u separate a body part without creating a hole in the separated place?

Thanks,

transparency can be done in a couple of different ways. You can do it with a texture map and you can also do it with a shader/material.

you can break a body into different pieces a couple of different ways as well. if you would like to simply be able to select or hide different areas you’ll want to create polygroups. If you need to physically break the object into different pieces you’ll need to create polygroups, or hide certain sections and then break those pieces into different subtools (done in the subtool panel). To stop the "hole from being visible you’ll want to create a crease on the seams (done in the geometry panel)

Hope this helps.
