I would like to be able to create curved tubes in Zbrush. I've been looking all over for a tutorial but had really no luck at all finding one. I've seen one or two timelapses but still cant tell whats going on. Does anyone have a good method that they would be willing to share? Thanks!
Are you looking for help creating them with the aptly named curved tube brushes, or are you looking to customize the tube through the Insert mesh/ multi mesh system?
Those tubes are most likely poly modeled, from splines or nurbs. If you look on page two of that thread, he's showing you how he modeled the criss-cross pattern in maya and bend it to form a cylinder with it. Seems he only used zbrush for the block in of that gun
hmmm, good question. I'd like to know how the tubes on this gun were made. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103229 and also how he got that texture on them. Sorry for my lack of a better explanation of what i want. Pretty new to zbrush so I dont quite know the lingo just yet.
