How to create curve on one Edge Without Frame Function

hey i am new to Zbrush i was watching video on YouTube the Artist was Applying curve along creased edge without Frame Mesh function

how i can do this because the frame mesh apply curve on every edge but in the GIF i attached the artist was creating curve with click on the crease he chose

It would have been better if you just posted a link to the video instead of going to the trouble of making a poor quality gif.

That’s better @Mario2003

It’s hard to tell exactly how he is doing it because the video goes by so fast, he doesn’t explain anything and also, he is probably using shortcut keys so it isn’t exactly clear what he is clicking on. Having said that, the way I would do it is using ZModeler brush to create creases where I want them, then with only “Creased edges” selected in “Stroke > Curve Functions”, I would use “Frame Mesh” (7) to apply the curve to the crease. You can then remove the crease in “Tool > Geometry > Crease” if you don’t need it. The video below explains how it is done.

the frame mesh applies the effect on all curves but in the video he was choosing the crease and only one curve showup from multiple creases i slowed the video and noticed there is more than one

Thanx for the reply i appropriate it

@zber2 i just saw this video from Zbrush channel by Spicer McLeroy

he was creating frame mesh curves and only chose one curve to apply the effect on it i have no idea how he did it also i never success in my google search to figure it out

That’s because the curves are seperate . They are not all one curve. Each curve is a complete loop. Look carefully.

@zber2 i dont know what zbrush you use i am using Zbrush 2024 and this not happening even with sperat mesh i create two object “separated from each other” when i press frame mesh its create curves on all creased edges and when i click any of them the action applies on all of them even if they separated mesh’s and each curve complete loop

I don’t know how he did that either because I get the same thing as you. It applies the tube to all the curves at the same time and it shouldn’t. I will try to figure it out and let you know.

@Spyndel might know, or @SpicerCG who made the video.

nah i decided to switch to blender it has better community and endless tutorial plus they have sculpting tool similar to Zbrush without hidden hacks and tricks in there tools that stop you from getting your job done quickly

enjoy your Zbrush its mistake i did pay for it
