In this tutorial we will look at how you can use the new ZProject Brush to transfer texture information.
To begin we start with a canvas like the one to the left. You can
create a document like this in Photoshop and import that into ZBrush by
pressing Document: Import [to avoid stretching your picture first set
up document size to same as picture you are importing - go to Document,
turn off Pro if needed - it constrains proportions - and set up desired
size]
other SubTools are visible, the ZProject will transfer details from the
other visible SubTools to the currently selected SubTools. If no other
SubTools are visible it will transfer details from the canvas to the
currently selected SubTool.
To fix the ear texture:
Here is our model's texture after fixing the ear.
So far we have only worked on the side view. Now we need to fix the
texture stretching that resulted. Rotate the model so it is a Front view.
We have cleaned up some of the texturing here.
Here is the final image.]
