Hey man another nice tutorial. Just got my hands around zmodeler and let me tell you, it's awesome. You can choose to model an entire model from scratch with it. But you can also use old sculpting techniques to model and then come in and start optimizing with it. A lot of freedom indeed.

As always keep up the good work man.

Do you know if the "Gyro Gizmo" featured in ZBushCore will make it into 4R8? It seems like for just moving vertices, it would be quicker than ZModeler alone.

Thanks for this! I seem to recall watching a video way back from ZBrush 2 in which a similar-looking Gyro was used to model a base mesh in ways similar to traditional modelers, with the ability to move vetices around directly.

at 18:32 what are those orange Pins and How Do I use them ?

for non symmetrical if you really want to do it, activate local symmetry and u wont get that error
