Zbrush Stencil To Isolated Geo

Lulufinder · Dec 2011

What would be the best way to take an alpha like the one I've created below and turn it into an extruded object. I've thought about using the stencil as a mask, inflating the surface, but I've yet to find a way to possibly delete the outside of the surface. Still, this would probably leave me with just the front half.. i'm looking to make it complete from front to back. Any suggestions?

There's a 'make 3d' option in the alpha palettte...you can also try to mask it on some geometry and use the 'extract' thingy

There's also shadowbox. Extract sounds like the better method if you want the shape to match a specific surface instead of just being more planar.
