Hi everybody, a quick question:

I´m trying to get a displacement on different props 4 a short, using Z brush & Maya, but what I´ve found is that I can´t because Z brush won´t let me draw on a clean face.

If I try 2 subdivide it, then of course the props qets rounder and this isn´t what I want. Can someone tell me how is this done properly? Would it be better if I use just Maya? If so, how can I?

Thanks a lot,

CHR

You need to add more control loops in your base geometry to retain as much of the original shape as posable when it gets subdivided in Zbrush.

There's also a "smooth divide modifier" or "SMT" for short, listed under the geometry tab in Zbrush, if you deselect this, then it will just subdivide your mesh without any smoothing.
