ZBrush Newbie Question

JamesRL

Hi there,

I'm new to ZBrush and started creating a human character.
At the moment I am adding details to my characters shirt. But how can I protect the underlying surface (like folds in the shirt) from being smoothed out when I start smoothing my details on top?

With details on top I am thinking of huge areas of really small folds (like memory folds in shirts).

Any tips? 
Thanks for your help.

You can use a mask. Paint on your design (over the cloth folds) then reverse the mask and inflate, or sculpt the design over the fold details.
