I have another question for you, Joe.

 

At one point we were discussing doing symmetrical morphs in Zbrush and Shannonhope mentioned using the Morph Target Palette to make symmetrical morphs in ZBrush... now, I think I got most of it...

 

Some helpful info VERY neatly laid out by ShannonHoppe in THIS thread about Making Two Symmetrically Mirrored Morphs in ZBrush but to paraphrase:

  1. Send the model to ZBrush via GoZ
  2. Store Morph target.
  3. Activate symmetry (x)
  4. Sculpt away. When done…
  5. mask the half you want to keep.
  6. Use morph brush to return the unmasked area to original form prior to GoZ. Send the model back to DS.
  7. Save the morph in DS.
  8. Switch back to ZBrush (via the OS, not via GoZ. Just change the active application window).
  9. Undo in ZBrush which will negate the change just made with the Morph brush. Now mask the other side and apply the morph brush to the opposite.
  10. Hit GoZ to return to DS.
  11. Whalah! Your other side of the morph with symmetry.

 

But I am unfamiliar with using the Morph Target Palette and the Morph Target  Brush. 

What little things might have been missed in this step-by-step that a beginner needs to know?

I am having problems following it, unfortunately.

Thanks you for any help you can offer, sir. And, as always, beautiful work!
