I got them in there. I managed to even get the matchmaker brush to work... kind of.

How do I delete or undo or anything in there? If I messed up the mesh, how do I either delete it and start over, or undo the brush stroke?

Sorry if I am asking what seem to be basic questions.

 

[Rokket]

I found the undo feature. Kind of weird.

I closed the program and will go back to it later. I avoid frustration by doing that. I learn it by overcoming the next obstacle. Right now the obstacle is getting the matchmaker brush to do the emblem correctly.

 

[Rokket]

How come the brush doesn't convert the very top of the emblem? I will attempt this again and then post a screen shot.

 

[Rokket]

See? The top edge of the emblem won't play nice. I've attempted this several times already. What did I screw up?

 

[Rokket]

Oh... I figured it out. It's up too high. It's working fine. It is conforming to the top edge of the neck of the suit... Duh!

 

[Rokket]

Now it's in the right spot, I just have to tweak the settings a bit to get it right.

How do you delete things that you imported so you can start over?????

 

[Rokket]

That's too much of a gap...

Sometimes the matchmaked mesh needs to be tweaked into position. But overall it does a good job.

Go to the Subtool palette on the right and delete any subtools you don't want.

Oh... I get it. Then I just have to recreate the subtool...

I did tweak it, and that's as close as it would get to the suit. At the bottom it was making contact. Think to make this work, I have to apply the brush, translate it into place and apply the brush again until I get it to do what I want.

Sometimes the Matchmaker needs to be applied a couple of times. Also it's a good idea to make the geometry to be matchmakered a bit thicker so it will sit into the target mesh without too much work.

Ctrl + Z is your friend. There is also a little slider just above your viewport area and you can just grab it and pull it to the left and it will undo but there is no selective undo that I know of...

 

[Rokket]

Thanks. I will have to keep that in mind...

In the meantime:

Each subtool has it's own undo stack, independent of the undo stacks for the other subtools.

 

[Bonnie2001]

Is that your ZBrush work Rokket?

 

[Rokket]

The emblem is, yes. What do you think? Maybe it should be a bit thicker?


I am going to put it on him and see what it does in the cloth room. I will be thinking about either redoing the emblem to make it thicker, or just moving on to the boots.

I've found clicking on the bar will take it back as well as sliding...

 

[Rokket]

The suit on him. Thoughts?

 

[RAMWolff]

Looks very good. I think the toned down golds is good too!
