Just started working in Zbrush after having used Blenders built

Dynamesh is a tool that allows you to model your base mesh very fast.

For example, take a sphere. You want to model a head starting from a sphere. So you begin with the move brush, makiing the shape of the head.

You will notice if you stretch or squatch it a lot, you will see that the poligons of your sphere will be messed up. See with ctrl + F, or shift + F, i dont remenber..

Now use Dynamesh and see the poligons again. You will see the difference at the geometry.

add a finger as a seperate mesh
then go into transpose move tool, hold alt and move a finger and it will duplicate non masked geometry
then merge both tools when you happy and redynamesh at a high enough resolution

Indeed it is an awesome tool.

In the OP pic I basically extruded that whole body from the head and redynameshed.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to cut of a piece of mesh, the finger in this instance, copy it and re-attach it to the hand to make the next finger.

How do you add seperate meshes to the same object.

I know append adds a new tool (subtool) to the scene, but I don't know how to add to the same tool.

If anybody can give me some detailed instructions I'd appreciate it.

I'll keep bumping with my progress.

>>502779
ether merge a subtool down or use one of the insert brushesh or make of your own

>>502785
easier to make the finger in another subtool but since you already made it attached to the body.
You could Ctrl+Shift drag the finger.
then split hidden, fill hole
Duplicate fingers, place them where u want,
now merge them with the full body and dynamesh. tada!

Thanks mate you're a boss. Finally something I can understand.

>>503459
why havent you glued those fingers yet

>>503464

Want to add more detail to it before I copy it.

Save some time down the line.
