Goosmo 1,414 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi, i'm currently using zbrush to make a harrow skin. He has some parts that are symmetrical, but are outside the symmetry point. I need help with the elbow parts on harrow. For example on harrow veles. The elbow part is somehow symmetrical. The uv's aren't mirrored either, so i can't bake the normals symmetrically.

Vulbjorn 651 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I just dragged the part into the X axis center, mirrored and remeshed it, sculpted on it and dragged it back in it's place, sculpting later with local symmetry on.

MistakeNotMyCurrentState 50 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 What Vulbjorn said you need to duplicate center it by hand sculpt then return it to the correct location it sucks a little but this is your best bet. Link to post Share on other sites

I see, do you know if there is a way to rotate it, so it's exactly 90 degrees on the axis? Or do you just rotate it close enough. Edit: found out you can do it with the transpose tool. Anyways, thx for the help! Edited August 17, 2020 by Goosmo Link to post Share on other sites

You just do it approximately, anyways it won't be noticeable in the final baked texture. Link to post Share on other sites
MistakeNotMyCurrentState 50 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yeah use the Gizmo for all of these things it's accurate enough. also turn on the floor on whatever axis you are aligning that will give you the reference. Link to post Share on other sites
supremeloser123 11 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I think if you can isolate that symmetrical part into a separate subtool you can use posable symmetry and see if that works Though you have to delete the otherside to make sure the program can find the right axis Link to post Share on other sites
