Relocating Simmetry in Zbrush?

NAIMA · Jan 2013

Hello I was working on this helmet ...

But I need to work on a simmetry on the snake parts , now those are offsetted from the Z axis and whe nI activate double side of course is not precisely setup from z axis ( front and read ) how can I do so to match the actual simmetry only for the snake heads? the Y axis is fine ( left right ) ...

First option is work with the snake part centralized as a independent subtool so you sculpt with symmetry (any axis) and when its done just position the tool with transpose clone and mirror.

Another option is to create this snake as a insert mesh, so you can add it with curves easily with the curvature that works best.
Just create 3 (straight) parts, base, middle and head and then create the insert mesh brush

I believe that is the best option for you
You also get a brush that can be reused on other things

Isolate the snakes with ctrl+shift and have local symmetry on

The snakes are a subtool endependant item , but how do I enable the local simmetry ? I can't seem to find that option among the transform window or in the simetry window ...

Nvm Thanks I have found it

Ok I have isolated the snakes and I applies the local symmetry though there is still a small offset on a side , how can I make it even to be perfectly symetrical?
