Hi, im new to sculpting and stuff. But i'm liking it at the moment.
So to my problem.

I have a Square(rectangular) shape that i've divided and smoothed out.
What i want to do is sculpt a Plaster wall.

Using Orbs Crack brush is helping me doing alot of the hard work.
But what i want to know is how to do this kind of sculpt, where you see how it goes in and shows the other side of the wall.


Thank you for taking your time to help me.

Sincerley.

Clay Buildup brush is great for stuff like this, better than the Standard brush.

You should also look into making your own Alphas... cracks, plaster texture, concrete texture, etc.

To get the overlap look, you could try this cool trick:

It's not going to answer you question exactly, but it might help you get on the right track in terms of thinking about how to setup your textures in Zbrush.

You can either store a morph target and then push back the surface using the layer brush with a harder-edged alpha (such as Alpha 28), or more simply just mask the area (again with a similar alpha) and then invert the mask and use either a negative inflate deformation or transpose to push it back. Both will keep the distance consistent, making it look like it has an outer coating. Then you just need to add in some cracks (orb brush, dam_stand, mech cut, etc) and some noise (rougher on the inside).
