How to Create a New Subtool From a Masked Area in ZBrush
· updated · ZBrush
Mask an area on the model…
In the subtool palette, under Extract, set the thickness and options. Note that the Subtool palette is found within the Tool palette (or under the Tool menu), but it may not be displayed or may not have active buttons unless you have a valid PolyMesh3D in the modelling space.
Click Extract button, then Accept.
A new subtool is generated from the extracted mask…
It’s usually a good idea to use ZRemesher on the new subtool afterwards.
