■ Hard-Surface Sculpting 371
- Ctrl+Shift-click to isolate the circle group. You can then expand to include the loops
in your selection by clicking Tool → Visibility → Grow (Figure 10.65). - Mask the selection, then show visibility on the rest of the model. Invert the mask and
use Transpose to move the faces out. The resulting transition will be perfectly sharp
(Figure 10.66).
That completes the group loops and ShadowBox exercises. You can see how these tools
can be invaluable for creating interesting new shapes. ShadowBox is one of the most powerful
new additions to ZBrush.
We will now move on to Matchmaker to see another unique tool available in ZBrush 4.
