Add alpha texture across entire subtool?

Is there a way to apply an alpha equally across an entire subtool or masked area without clicking and dragging repeatedly? I have a fabric texture I want to apply to clothing, but trying to click and drag repeatedly and maintain both scale and seams is exceedingly difficult. I’m sure there is a better way. Thanks.

Umm…have you try using Stencil? Which you can do by selecting your Alpha then go to Alpha menu convert to Stencil (Alpha> Make St)

Then if your Alpha’s tillable you can go to Stencil menu and adjust the repeat value…

Not sure whether this answer your question.

i don’t think there’s an easy way to do that, maybe for zb 3.5 they’ll add some kind of “lathe” to work with alphas and all the different brushes :rolleyes:

i believe this can be done with any of these: stencil, using your texture uv’s, brush setting of wrap or alpha tile mode, all will yield different results.

also quick one i found:

Thank you. I’ll give this a try. I’m a bit new to ZBrush.
