backface masking in zbrush?

dolemite · Nov 2011

hey yall!

I'm trying to sculpt feathers and stuff into one side of a wing in zbrush 4. I can't seem to find any info on backface masking to keep it from effecting the other side of the wing. Any suggestions?

thanks!

It's in the brush menu under automasking.

hmmm... Yeh I found it there, but I can't seem to understand how it works? Any tips, none of the changes I make make any difference

Backface automask works perfectly if you sculpt, but if you mask an area, the size of your brush will affect the backface, so play with the settings and try to mask with small strokes.
