multiple tools/models - Polyloop

Nate Owens · 20th August 2007, 18:29

EDIT: I think I have found the answer either in Sub Tools or Polygroups..?

Z is complex and their help files and tutorials are great and pretty much endless.

QUESTION:

I made a dude's head - he is a tool now in Z
I made a cap for the dude - it is also a tool in Z

I need to put the cap on the dude.
So far I haven't been able to do this - tried layers, etc.

I realize that I could combine them before I bring them to Z, but this is a theoretical question for future projects.

I know this is elementary, but that's the stage I'm at in my quest to learn Z.

Thanks for any ideas on this.

Tried SubTools and it made the cap part of (imbedded into) my dude's head.
Insert mesh did nothing.

so... still searching

probably something simple

OK... thanks to some input over at ZBrush central, I got her going.
Had no idea that transpose tool would work on an embedded mesh...
ZBrush... a world of wonder (sometimes begins as confusion)

Sorry. I never noticed your query earlier.

Once you get the basics down you will be putting out amazing stuff in ZB.

Cheers
