How do I use ZSphere?
A Basic Introduction To Working With ZSpheres In ZBrush 4
- So lets start by selecting a “ZSphere”, you can find it under Tools > Simple Brush > ZSphere.
- Now select the ZSphere & drag it onto the canvas in Zbrush.
What is ZSphere in ZBrush?
ZSpheres are an advanced ZBrush tool that permit ‘sketching out’ a 3D model (particularly an organic one) quickly and easily. Once the model has been formed using ZSpheres, it can be ‘skinned’ (a mesh can be created from it) for further sculpting.
How do I select a ZSphere?
To start a ZSphere model, select the zsphere tool from the Tool palette – it’s the two-toned red ball – and draw it on the canvas. Enter Edit mode by pressing T on the keyboard. The zsphere is two-toned so that it’s clear which way is up. In general, the dark red side should face normal (face the user).
How do you smooth ZSpheres?
When you press SHIFT in ZSketch mode to smooth out the sketch, the default brush is Smooth 1. When you get to the ends of a chain of ZSpheres, Smooth 1 will embed and resize the ends, conforming the ends to the underlying model. You can see this demonstrated in the image below.
How do you use symmetry in ZBrush?
Radial symmetry can be activated as follows:
- Press Transform > Activate Symmetry.
- Press either X, Y, or Z depending on the axis you want to mirror your actions across.
- Press Transform > R.
- Set Transform: Radial Count to the number of times you want to mirror your actions symmetrically along the surface.
How to use a zsphere to create 3D models?
By using just a single ZSphere and then, create your model in the 3D space. By adding a ZSphere as a subtool to any mesh, put in sketch mode and draw directly onto the other subtool. Each technique has its own advantages and choosing one or the other will depend on your needs or simply, the way you prefer to work.

How do I use zsketch?
You can easily add or take away material at any time – it is very similar to working with strips of clay. ZSketch can be used in three different ways: By using just a single ZSphere and then, create your model in the 3D space. By adding a ZSphere as a subtool to any mesh, put in sketch mode and draw directly onto the other subtool.
How do I change the default smooth brush in ZBrush?
In the new ZBrush your Default Smooth brush will be defined by holding down the shift key and clicking on any of the smooth brushes. For example, if you hold down shift and click on Smooth1 then this brush will always be used for smoothing when shift is held.
