## Description

Use when an agent sculpts organic forms in ZBrush 2026 (sculpt a head, bust or creature in ZBrush from a sphere, ZSpheres or primitives); when blocking primary and secondary forms, choosing DynaMesh, Sculptris Pro or subdivision levels, or setting ClayBuildup, Dam_Standard, Move or TrimDynamic; when using masks, polygroups, Morph Targets or layers; or when scripted strokes miss, do nothing, come out too strong or leave marks, or a re-DynaMesh does nothing or loses polygroups.

# ZBrush sculpting (core forms, scripted strokes)

Expert sculpting goes big to small with gates: light meshes raised in resolution only when the forms
ask, clay built across the form in thin low-intensity layers, sharpness last and never on weak
shapes. An agent has no pen: it uses exact operations first (primitives, ZSpheres, DynaMesh, masks
plus Deformation sliders), then strokes planned from model-space forms, aimed through the view,
measured in volume and reviewed after every pass ([`scripts/zb_sculpt.py`](scripts/zb_sculpt.py)).
If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, load it with `skill_get`
(Scenario MCP) or ask the user to install it (https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills#install);
unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
