Mesh Creation SHadowbox
– The SHadowbox is a method for creating geometry that uses masking tools on the inner face of a cube. By applying masks on any face Zbrush creates geometry anywhere the masks intersect.
– To use Shadowbox start with any piece of geometry then go to Tool > Geometry > Shadowbox. A mask will be drawn that matches the piece of geometry.
– Clear the mask by Ctrl + Dragging off the model then begin drawing new masks using the mask tools learned earlier.
Shadowbox can be started form any piece of geometry and creates new geometry using masking tools.
Modifying existing geometry and creating new geometry form scratch in shadowbox.
– The Tool > Geometry > Shadowbox > Res slider controls the resolution and therefore quality of the masks and geometry.
– Clipping brushes (Ctrl + Shift) can be used to smooth and refine geometry created with shadowbox.
