Zbrush 4 quick rock sculpting with TrimSmoothBorder

Using clay tubes to get large forms, I then use the TrimSmoothBorder brush with square alpha to define the rock texture. Adding and subtracting with specific brushstrokes to grip onto the uneven clay tubes surface, I can produce organic chaotic rock shapes quite quickly.

Are you using a custom made brush?  That looks so nice...

@SampleTheWorld I'm using clay tubes to fist block out the larger shapes and forms, then I use TrimSmoothBorder with the hard square alpha (from claytubes) to chip away and add the rock details.

It's just a rock, but it's still beautifully done.
