Polymarkers

[virtualab]

Advise me some tutorial on a combination of various objects in ZBRASH-2 and their subsequent movings. It seems to me, that I have in a kind the PolyMarkers. Many thanks.

Hey Virtual Lab-

I was curious about this myself, and I must say that I am dissapointed with the final outcome but.... From what I understand, you place one object, then place use the marker add button, ( Ibelieve it is under trqansform) , Then place another object, and another marker... Now go to the tool palette and use the "multi-marker tool" to place the collection of objects. Now you can go into edit mode, and individually move objects till you are satisfied with the general placement. Now you must convert them into a polymesh3d...urrgh! This allows you to edit the meshes, but not the entire objects anymore. If this works let me know... there is a Zscript that comes with Zbrsuh that will walk you through this. If you find a better way please..... let me know!!!

If you position and combine your objects in your 3rd party app where you want them. Like teeth, gums, and a head for instance.... You can then place the UVs for each part in its own region. Then in ZBrush use tools:polygroups:UVgroups.
You can now hide and manipulate each part independently and extract maps for each one using MultiDisplace.

Its the same as having access to multiple objects just bypasses the MultiMarker tool which really isnt as useful.

check out th new XSI and Maya guides for a walkthru on the process.

As long as the objects are not combined together, you don't need to seperate the UV's in order to make the parts seperate in Zbrush. But if you're looking to do multiple displacement maps, then what Scott says is probably the best way to go.

Marcus Civis wrote a pretty cool zscript for dealing with Multi-markers. It's probably the best way to use multi-markers.
