10 ■ Chapter 1: Sculpting Tools and Workflow
Trim Dynamic Creates the primary planes of your model and keeps the surface clean and
structured.
Trim Adaptive Creates and extends planes. It is the wooden sculpting tool you would use
to enforce a strong plane, and you may even cut into the model with it.
Dam_Standard and Standard brushes These are great knifes. By setting DrawSize low,
you can cut thin lines into the model.
Masks Isolate areas of the model to help you when you are making large changes or even
small adjustments. In ZBrush 4, you have several different masking options: To change
your masking type, simply select it in the Brush pop-up.
The Polish brushes Create refined surfaces and blend structured planes into each other.
The Sculpting Spectrum
The entire brush system in ZBrush can be divided into four zones (see Figure 1.11). These
zones correspond to your approach toward sculpting and what you are actually sculpting.
Are you sculpting loosely or do you need more refined control? Are you sculpting soft
forms or hard forms?
