Part 1: ZBrush Rigging with a Single Subtool

This is Part 1 of a multiple ZBrush rigging serious of videos. in this video I will demonstrate how to create a rig in ZBrush to be used on a single subtool. (Happens to be a human figure). In this video I will show how to take the sculpted detail from the human figure and apply it to a posed version of the same figure.

You didn't explain how to ad a new zsphere without clicking on top another zphere

@lonrot

I turn on transparency on with Ghost for this reason. once you have transparency on this way all you have to do is click on the surface and a ZSphere will be created.

where did you get the model from??? i cant find a female shape

@MahStudMuffin

This model is now shipped with ZBrush4R2b

[Pixo3]

did you make sure to click on the mesh before starting your pose? If you don't do this then ZBrush will not make the link to the sculpted version.

[Pixo3]

what issue are you having. Make sure to have your density level at the same level as your subdivision level

I have a problem. when I move the arm it starts to move other parts of the body as well, like some parts of the leg get stretched and follow where I move the arm. I made sure the density level is the same as subdivision level. Do you know how to fix this? Also, the mesh is really low poly. thanks

@Pixo3 Thanks, now I understand. Sometimes you go very fast in your tutorials. Pre-recorded videos?

[lonrot]

@lonrot Found it, you have to press SHIFT and click and release shift.

@KasedMonster To change buttons size go to "preferences>Interface

This is the 1st parameter.
