In this short video, I adjust the topology of my DemoMaquette_Female figure using ZBrush’s topology feature.
To do this, I use my model’s pre-existing topology. I start by selecting a ZSphere. Then press Tool: Topology: Select Topo and choose the DemoMaquette_Female model from the pop-up. The model comes in with all its topology lines already created and ready for editing.
For more information on Topology visit the online docs here.
Check out the ZBrushCentral thread started by Plakkie here.
Check out the edited version that ZeroDean put together in the online docs here.

Nice Ryan, I haven’t tried just editing the Topology by itself without having a clone rigged, this will make certain things easier.
Any ideas on how to solve the whole finger/toe issue for low meshes, other than working at subd2 or adding extra edgeloops? this is talked about in the Top&Flow lab.
