Quick Tip Tutorial: How to use Alpha for sculpting and masking in ZBrush

Hi when I use a rectangular image to create an ALPHA wheb I drag it on the cube it looses ita rectangular form ( the corners) and become roundish shape. Is there any correction for this?

Thaaaaank Youuuuuuu :) ! I needed this Shift tips :) ! Thanks a Lot man ^^ !

it work on my pc thx bro vеry much

thank you so much dude you're a god

thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

pretty helpful,thanks alot

Thanks, i didn't know focus shift affected it so much.

mike copied ya i guess

Found excatly what I was looking for! I love how succinct your explanations are.

how do you fix the pulling from the other side of the mesh? back of the tool with impession

dynamesh refuses to match the resolution and makes it really crusty and low poly

very nice

ZBRUSH is very complicated. You can't select your object by clicking on it. Once you draw from scratch and make polymesh 3d, you cant resize it. I spent 24+ for now and I am trying to design some jewelry. Don't blame me now if you guys are only using basic sculpting tools. It is complicated as fffff. Long live Photoshop CC logic!!!! :D:D

thanks u

In R7, holding Shift when dragging to create the object doesn't snap it to the view.

Excellent Tutorial. If you don't mind me asking, what are you using as your screen recorder to make this video?

Thanks for the tutorial. Easy to follow an made my life much easier. :D

Really nice tutorial!!!
May I mention some stuff just your tutorials to look even better?
1. Try to speak with more enthusiasm (all of us are already enthusiastic about ZBrush, and also with all of you tutorial makers that help us!). Enthusiasm talking helps a lot!
2. Use some voice compressor plugin ( through Premier perhaps?). It's not too easy to follow the way your voice levels get low and high.
3. Use some music intro, even music between the times that you don't talk (overdub)
4. Try not to move the mouse point as too much and fast as you do, makes you dizzy! Check out Andrew Cramer's tuts to get what I mean!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!

Great tutorial thanks.

Oh my god! This magic brush is awesome!

Thanks again very clearly, didactic and good sound.

thanks so much very useful tutorial

How do you make Alphas like that ?
do you have tutorial on creating those alphas ?

How can i move alpha on surface like insert mesh with space?

Thanks for the tutorial. Quick question. When I use alphas for masking, they always end up masking to the other side of the model. I can't find the setting to stop this (if there is one). I notice in your video you did not have that problem. How did you do it? Thanks!

I like it . Very useful . Thank you for sharing tips and tricks with us .

Awesome. Thanks a lot.

Great video man, clear and well explained.
