ZB_01 | Zbrush Append vs Insert in Subtool palette.

 

Hi Everyone, my name is Michele.

And in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to insert objects

Or geometries into your canvas in Zbrush.

Once you've launched Zbrush, close the homepage window.

Start off your project by selecting one of your default shapes here.

For example this one, it's called default project and you can start off with this.

And then check the geometry, under geometry and then under Dynamesh

Check the resolution before you start.

And make sure that you turn off Symmetry by pressing X is you don't need it.

And then if you don't want to sculpt yet and you want to add other objects into your canvas.

You can add in add in geometry from your subtool palette.

So click Append.

Click on Append when you want to add in geometry to the end of the list.

I want to add another cylinder. It will add another cylinder to the bottom of the list.

I want to add another cylinder. It will add the cylinder at the bottom of the list.

Let's say, we move it. Click on the layer and then move it.

And then we want to append another star,

Maybe polymath 3D.

And then it will be added to the end, and then let's move it.

To the side.

And let's create a New Folder for these 3 objects.

Let's call it Shapes.

So the Shapes, Let's put everything inside.

Put the sphere in too.

So now everything's inside this "Folder" (not sphere)

So if you append another object, let's say another sphere 3D.

It will be added to the bottom of the list. It won't be added into the folder.

So let's move it so that we can see it.

So this is the new sphere that we've added.

If you want to add an object into the folder.

You will need to use Insert.

And let's say we add an arrow, 3D arrow.

It will be added below the layer you have selected before you click on Insert.

Let's do another time, oops, Click on arrow and move it aside.

Let's say I want to add

Another object just below arrow so I'm clicking arrow.

And then I click insert.

And then I am adding a spiral 3D.

So the spiral 3D will be added below the arrow.

So let's move the spiral 3D

to the corner here.

You can decide what you want to do, whether you want to add an object to the list.

Or add an object to the folder.

Or just below the layer.

Like for example, if I have,

Like for example, if I have this,

Star just below the sphere.

But I want to add another,

Another object just below the circle.

I can click insert,

I select this

ooops no,

I select this layer,

The sphere layer,

and then click insert, and the object will be inserted just below

this sphere, I have selected.

So basically these 2 buttons,

They are append,

to the list.

Or insert just below the layer I have selected.

I think that's enough for this tutorial,

I will see you in the next video.
