[ZBrush] Hires and Lowres body parts

fai

Hey,

I'm currently sculpting a character where probably only the hands and face are visible.
Now my question, what will I do if i want the hand and face to have higher resolution,
but the rest of the body lower resolution.
For instance I cut the hands off by doing polygroups, and then add details.
Later, I want to merge that down onto my lowres body.

How do I do that without losing detail and still having one continous mesh?

If only the hands and head will be visible then why are you keeping body geo on the final character?

If your model has subdivisions take it back to its lowest poly level and activate the: Freeze subdivision Levels under the geometry pallet. When the mesh is ready, hide the parts of your model you dont want to change. Press the Divide button under the geometry menu and zbrush will do its work. The divided mesh will appear so you just have to unfreeze it by again pressing the Freeze subdivision Levels button. Also clear the mask applied to the model after the operation.

idk if you're working directly on the lp otherwise you can also zremesh it and add more density to the hands and face by the use polypaint option.
