In this ZBrush sculpting training lesson, Michael Ingrassia demonstrates how to load the pumpkin and rope meshes you created in previous lessons into the scarecrow model. You will learn how to rescale the meshes and position them to fit well in your scene. This finalizes your scarecrow base mesh.
- [Instructor] Now with all the basemeshes ready,…we're ready to begin doing the massing of our sculpt.…I'm going to load in the scarecrow.…And now I want to append both the pumpkin…and the rope belt that we just created.…Within the scarecrow subtool file,…I'll go down to Append.…
I'll find my rope belt and select on that.…And I'll append once again.…Find my pumpkin and select on that.…Of course both of them come in different scale…but that's fine.…I'm going to just select my scale…and bring that pumpkin down.…
I'll move it down into position on the base.…And I'll further adjust that later on.…Same thing with the rope belt now,…I'll scale the belt down,…re-position it.…
Re-position it so that it looks good…and that will work for now.…With all the basemeshes now prepared,…we're now ready to begin sculpting the scarecrow.…
