Join Ryan Kittleson for an in-depth discussion in this video Cutting ailerons with Trim and Clip, part of Modeling a Female Android in ZBrush.
…Let's dig a little deeper now into how we can use…the trim and clip tools in curve mode as we make ailerons.…Those little wing flaps on the arms.…As you'll see, trimming anything other than a straight line poses…a challenge that we can solve with the Clip Curve brush.…Let's get to it.…Now, we're going to be doing some fancy cutting on this arm piece.…So, what I want to do is duplicate it.…So, let's Alt-click on it to make it active.…Let's go into Sub-tool and Duplicate. Let's see if we can find it in here.…Okay, here it is.…
So, let's hide one of the duplicates here, and just work on one of them.…Okay, so, what we want to do now is, we want to make a cut.…We want to break this into two different pieces.…So we want to cut a line that's kind of roughly…right about here to create a flap that can move independently.…So let's hit B and T, and find our Trim Curve.…Here it is, Trim Curve.…Now let's Ctrl+Shift, and start making a line that cuts the separation here.…So lets see. I'll strag a line down here.…Remember, you can hold down space bar and then re-position the line.…
