Why cant i merge these subtools?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I have made these fingers as separate subtools, using zspheres. And now i want to join them, and mirror them on the other side of my model. But the merge button does not appear, and neither does the mirror and weld. This is not the case with all my subtools tho…

This is really confusing, but i really enjoy the sculpting tools. Coming from Blender, i find this program very hard to understand

are they actual meshes, or still Zspheres? Hitting “A” shouldn’t make it go back to zspheres.

If you use ZSpheres to create a model (such as a finger) then pressing ‘A’ simply shows a preview of how the mesh will look. You need to either:

  • Press Tool>Adaptive Skin>Make Adaptive Skin. This will create a new mesh in the Tool palette with a name beginning Skin_.
    or
  • Press Tool>Make PolyMesh3D. This will create a new mesh in the Tool palette with a name beginning PM3D_. (Note that ZBrush automatically selects this new mesh so you might think that all your subtools have disappeared but the original model is still in the Tool palette.)

If you append either of of these to your subtools you will be able to merge the result.

Thank you! That did the trick :+1:
