New ZB2 Plugin Button: MaskGroups

[Svengali]

Here's another ZB2 plugin button called MaskGroups.

MaskGroups.zip (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200407/user_file-1089049049gzo.zip)


How to install: Unzip MaskGroups.zsc and put it into the \Zdata\Zplugs directory. Next time you start up ZBrush 2, you will find a MaskGroups button under Misc Utilities - you may drag it to your interface shelf.

How it works: With groups, sometimes it is useful to choose one or more groups to work on or paint or manipulate while all others are masked but still visible. You can still see the physical relationship between the groups yet work exclusively on the unmasked group(s).

How to use it: First hid all groups you want MASKED (Control+Shift+Click). Press MaskGroups button... and all the hidden groups are made visible again, but in MASKED MODE.

Note that the unmasked group(s) can be moved relative to the masked groups using the TOOL : Deformation:Offset slider precisely along an individual axis. Likewise the unmasked group(s) can be scaled and rotated as well, separate from the masked groups.


That's it. Could be handy. Let me know if you use it and find a problem. Thanks...
