374 chapter 10 ■ ZSketch and Hard-Surface Brushes
Figure 10.70 Matchmaker conforms the shape to the sphere.
- From the Brush menu, select the Matchmaker
brush. Make sure X Symmetry is off and click-
drag from the center of the sphere out. This will
conform the shape to the sphere (Figure 10.70). - You may want to use Transpose to countersink
the shape into the sphere so the fit is more snug
(Figure 10.71). Because of the way Matchmaker
works, this shape will be conformed perfectly
to sit just over the surface of the sphere.
Now that you have seen the tools we will use
and the methodology we will follow, let’s move on to
something more ornate. In the next exercise we will
create a ray gun using ZSketch, ShadowBox, and the
hard-surface brushes.
