zbrush symetry

John Warner

hey guys, i've got this little problem

i've got to zbrush a face on a model that has a totaly blank head. the problem is that the face is slightly rotated, so when i go to turn on symetry, its not painting symetricaly on the head-- the line of symetry is like.. runing down the right cheek or something.

I'm wondering if there is any way to adjust the axis of symetry? or something that will give me a similar result?

I would adjust your model prior to importation, then adjust it back when your done.

in deed, i would have, but i wasn't thinking. now i've got many hours of work that i'd lose if i wanted to start again. i'll probably just model a high poly head in max and call it a day. ahhh well.

btw, i found out that you can hide all but a few faces and press p to set the pivot point-- that doesn't mater, because the face is rotated and the symetry axis is still aligned to the world.

A-HAH! the preview window! the axis of symetry is baed off the preview window! i feel warm all over. thanks anyway folks.
