2. The Shadowbox will now be the active tool in ZBrush. Return to the cyborg ZTool and append the
Shadowbox as a SubTool under the Tool ⇒ SubTool menu. Append this Shadowbox into your Cyborg as a
SubTool and use the Transpose tools to place it in the vicinity of the clavicle or collarbone ( Figure 6-14 ) .

3. From the Brush menu, select the Mask Pen brush and draw the shape of the clavicle from above. This
will instantly create the shape you draw. You can further refine the form by rotating to the front and draw-
ing the shape in the front profile. When you are satisfied with the shape, exit Shadowbox by pressing Tool
⇒ SubTool ⇒ Shadowbox. This will place the new geometry in our SubTool menu ( Figure 6-15 ). The
clavicle can be further shaped and refined with the ZBrush sculpting tools, as it is now a polymesh, which
is fully sculptable.
