Splitting overlapping panels - ZBrush Tutorial
From the course: Modeling a Female Android in ZBrush
Splitting overlapping panels
The splitting that we've done so far works great when two different parts stay separate. Like the hips separate from the legs, or the arm from the torso, but what about the overlapping plates of the lower torso? For this, we're going to build off of the slicing and splitting skills we just learned. So let's try it out. So we can see in our model, I actually split off the head using the same techniques we used in the last video. But what we want to focus on is the torso. Now what we need to have in the torso is something a little bit different. There's going to be these different overlapping plates in the abdomen. So it's going to be different than having separate pieces that butt up against each other. They need to actually fit inside each other. So I can't just cut some slices and split each panel. So for this reason, I'm going to take the torso section that we have here, this subtool, and duplicate it so that we can work on one of them and split it, and slice it, and cut it however…
