To rotate your Tool, just click drag on an empty area of your canvas.(or on the Safe area around).In Edit Mode, to Move, rotate and scale the current tool, you'll have to use the Transform icons, on the right of the canvas area, or the following combos: When this mode is on, the Draw, Move, Scale and Rotate icons will allow you sculpt, move, or pose your current tool. Edit Mode mode will let you edit and sculpt the sphere. Sculpting brushes will work much better with standard 3D meshes (polymeshes).

The sphere primitive is converted into a standard 3d Mesh. For the moment, enter the Edit mode, and press the Make PolyMesh3D button in the Tool menu. You can use the Move, Scale and Rotate tools (respectively: W, E, R keys) to transform the sphere, or stay in Draw (Q key) to draw other spheres. After you draw the Sphere, all these icons except Edit are now active. Near the top of the canvas, you can find the Edit, Draw, Move, Scale and Rotate icons. Select the Sphere 3d primitive and drag it on the canvas. It's where you load, save and edit all of your models. The Tool Palette (palette is another name for menu in ZBrush) is one of the most important menus. Basics: Tools, Editing, and Navigation in ZBrush Before beginning this tutorial, let us have a look to the basic functions of ZBrush, as well as the main menus. The picture on the left was created from scratch in ZBrush, all the models are created, sculpted, posed, textures, lighted, and rendered without (almost) the help of any other application. To paint and sculpt a tool or the canvas, you will use 3D and 2.5D brushes, different kind of strokes, textures, alpha maps and materials. A new feature in ZBrush 3 is that a single polymesh can be split into multiple subtools, enabling you to work on multiple items at the same time. Because of this integration, a model in ZBrush can be thought of as a tool, which also includes 2.5D brushes, a 3D primitives, ZSphere skeletons, and of course standard 3D models, which are normally referred to as polymeshes or meshes. Of course, many artists use ZBrush as primarily a 3D program, and that's largely what we'll be doing in this tutorial. Your model can then easily be incorporated into a previously painted scene, and lighting, rendering, and so on, will all work to produce an illustration with true 3D appearance. When doing pure 3D modeling, you simply manipulate the model with a (usually) blank canvas as the background. The canvas can be painted on, and can also be sculpted in and out (like a bas-relief carving, but with much greater depth). In ZBrush, you don't have a 3D workspace, but a canvas. It's a mix between 2D painting, and 3D modeling software, with good rendering capacities. ZBrush is different from other 3D and painting programs. Featuring: Transpose, ZSpheres, SubTools, and Mesh Extraction About Zbrush This is an extensive tutorial, but there's still a lot I won't go into, such as interface configuration or ZScripts. This Project is going to guide you step by step, and to allow you to create a whole scene with Zbrush 3 from scratch, to sculpt texture and finally render it.
