■ Using the ZBrush Tools 31These techniques are useful to the digital illustrator as well as when conceptualizing a
character with ZBrush. Even though you can export your work to external renderers for ani-
mation and rendering, I wanted to show the power of ZBrush as a rendering and illustration
tool in itself. These are often overlooked aspects of the program, but they are powerful tools
to have in your arsenal even if you never do 2.5D illustration. Many of these tools are usable
on 3D models in Edit mode using the Projection Master script. Projection Master will allow
you to blend 3D sculpting with the 2.5D tools to create highly detailed models for export
to other applications. In Chapter 2, “Sculpting in ZBrush,” we’ll take an in-depth look at
sculpting a bust in ZBrush.
