In-Depth Information
It is important to note that when using the InsertMesh button, as we have done here, you are
able to maintain your subdivision levels and the two meshes combine into a single ZTool.
Notice that the two meshes are still separate models even though we can use the Clay Tubes
brush to blend across the seam. When using the InsertMesh brush, you will create an entirely
new Dynamesh model that essentially shrink-wraps itself over the body and the new arms.
This means you have a single mesh but will also lose your subdivision levels and your original
topology. We will look at the InsertMesh brush as well as Dynamesh in Chapter 10.
5. You can now blend across the seams using the Clay Tubes brush. Select the Clay Tubes brush. From the
main Brush menu, open the Modifiers submenu and set the Brush Modifier slider to -20 ( Figure 3-68 ) .
This value affects the depth and level of blending accomplished with the brush when stroking across two
meshes, as we will do here. You may find that this value needs to be adjusted to get the best results. Stroke
along the seams between the shoulders and the torso to blend the models together ( Figure 3-69 ).
Figure 3-68: The Brush Modifier slider is found under the Brush and Modifiers menu as well as in the
Brush palette screen.
