Creating the Horns
The horns for this character will be a spiral configuration—very similar to ram horns but with some fantasy
elements. The horns are best created using ZBrush primitives. ZBrush has a wide array of primitive shapes
that can be manipulated to create all manner of basic models for use in your designs. Follow these steps to
create the horns.
1. From the Tool menu, select the ZBrush primitive Helix3D ( Figure 8-79 ).
2. The tool will initially look like a spring with tapers on each end. We will need to customize the shape.
To do this, open the Tool ⇒ Initialize menu to access the settings that determine the overall shape of this
primitive ( Figure 8-80 ).
