6 ■ Chapter 1: Sculpting Tools and Workflow
Trim Dynamic is an extension of the Clay brush. Its algorithm goes further than the Clay
brush, however, and allows you to build up planes with a loose freehand stroke that cannot
be achieved any other way. It is an essential tool in your toolkit.
6. To create precise forms, we will need a sculpting knife. We can use the Standard
brush for this. Set Draw Size to somewhere around 10 and press Alt while you carve
into the model.
When you do this, it’s important to proceed with caution and maybe even to use
multiple strokes to carve in the surface. As always, it’s very important to smooth
out any irregularities as soon as you see them. When you are finished, your model
should resemble Figure 1.7.
The Standard brush is one of the oldest brushes in ZBrush and still considered by many art-
ists to be the workhorse of all the brushes. You can also try a variation of the Standard brush
called the Dam_Standard brush, named after the artist who created it, Damien Canderle. You
can access the Dam_Standard brush from Lightbox.
