Hey there, I’m trying to sculpt something like this (the spiral groove along the stick) in ZBrush… and I’m wondering how you’d do it. I need it to be “perfect” (all grooves need to be equally spaced, at the same angle, etc.)
I remember seeing a tutorial somewhere using the curve standard brush or something like it, to sculpt with all the points of the curve, but I can’t find it… and I’m not quite sure this is the way to go.
Your thoughts ?
Many thanks !

Start with a cube and dynamesh it. After that use the twist deformation in the Tool>Deformation>Twist then just add in a cylinder and size it accordingly. Tweak and adjust and duplicate to get the desired look and feel. Dynamesh as necessary along the way.
Thx for the tip, but I ended up building an helix in cinema4D, importing it back in Z and using dynamesh to substract the helix from the cylinder. Worked pretty good.
Thanks again
There’s a Helix3D in ZBrush with adjustable parameters, a.) it didn’t work? or b.) you didn’t find it?
