How do I rescale models in ZBrush?

To scale the model uniformly:

  1. Drag the center of an endpoint.
  2. Drag away from the other endpoint to scale the model up.
  3. Drag towards the other endpoint to scale the model down.
  4. The non-dragged endpoint serves as the origin of the scale (the model point under that end will not move as the model is scaled.)

What is the meaning of uniform scale?

In Euclidean geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions. The result of uniform scaling is similar (in the geometric sense) to the original.

How do you set scales in ZBrush?

Before you start, your model must be in Edit mode.

  1. With a model loaded into ZBrush click the ‘Set Scene Scale’ Button.
  2. This will open up a dialog with various sizes listed.
  3. Choose the size in the desired units that is the closet to what the selected Subtool should equal.

What is focal shift ZBrush?

Focal Shift. The Focal Shift slider fine-tunes the current painting or editing action. It shifts the effective curve so the intensity is drawn closer to the center (positive value) or away from the center (negative value).

What is non-uniform scale?

The second type of scaling is called non-uniform scaling. In this type of scaling, the scaling factor doesn’t remain the same—t can change when going from one dimension to another. Your dimensions are your different measurements, for example, your length, your width, and your height.

What is uniform and differential scaling?

In any computer graphics software, there are 2 scaling factors – sx and sy. Uniform scaling takes place when both these factors are allocated with the same value. This is different from Differential Scaling. Differential scaling takes place when separate values are assigned to the scaling factors, sx and sy.
