Hi :)
This MaterialList ZScript allows you to store your favorite materials in easily accessible lists which may contain up to 100 materials and each added material will have its thumbnail automatically created.
You may create lists containing variety of materials or create lists that are theme-specific and switch between these lists as needed.

The ZScript file allows you to name (Title) your lists? Example? You may want to use your name (such as ?By ????? ), or the theme of the list ( such as Wood, Metal?). Naming the list is especially beneficial when you publish your list. To name your list, simply open the ZScript file in any text editor and edit the appropriate lines at the beginning of the ZScript.

:b3: Click here to download the MaterialList ZScript (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/counters/increment-zscripts.cgi/MaterialList.zip?3utilities/MaterialList.zip) :b3:

Note: This MaterialList ZScript does not contain the materials that are included with the MaterialPack ZScript.
The MaterialPack can be downloaded from this thread (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003203)

:b3: The zip file contains the MaterialList folder which is less then 150KB in size.
:b3: The MaterialList folder should be placed within your ZScript folder for easy access.
:b3: Demo users can use libraries created by others, but will not be able to create personal libraries as this task requires functions (Save/Export) which are disabled in the Demo. Demo users may download the MaterialPack ZScript (which works properly in the Demo version) from this thread (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003203).
:b3: Publishing your MaterialList is very easy, all you need to do is to ?zip? the MaterialList folder and it is ready to be published! ( the MaterialList folder contains all the necessary files to run properly on other systems, Demo users included)

After placing the MaterialList folder within your ZScript folder, launch ZBrush and load the MaterialList.txt ZScript, then press the ??? button to learn about this ZScript.

-Pixolator

Note: In February, A new ZScript will be released that will allow lists to be composed of other ZBrush resources, such as favorite Tools, Alphas, Textures and Materials.

Getting better and better every day. And I'm sure that all of these new things are just a tease of what's going to be available with the next release.

This is also going to be invaluable for packaging the Materials section of The Aurickle. Thank you!

Hi Pixolator,

I'm not sure how this material list is meant to be used with the material pack.

Am I supposed to take materials from the material pack and sort them with the material list?

s o u t h e r n

01-14-02, 08:08 AM

The material pack is a random collection of Materials with no particular order. Some of the materials however are unique in that they have additonal shader slots (The little `S` in the MATERIAL:MODIFIERS panel)

The new `MaterialList` enables you to take ANY material (including some from Material Pack if you wish) and save them in `sets` or `collections` of your own making.

If you are like me you will have thousands of materials in your ZMaterial directory. You can now put all your `SKIN/FLESH` variations into one pack, all your `METALS` into another pack, all your `ORGANICS` into another etc....

Each set needs its own directory for example `MaterialList 1` or `Fleshpack 1` and if you are a big material fan you may want to alter your DefaultZScript so that you can `call` your packs whenever you like with a handy little button or two.

Hope this helps until the other side of the Planet wakes up.

one thing that didnt make sense to me is i was able to create one list and it works fine however now i have a folder that has the same files as in the first materiallist.. i thought that this was bad for you computer. or is there way way to rename the files itself...

BTW. I have been getting a few errors with my material lists. If you experience any please post here and we can see if it`s my machine or a problem with Matlist.

hey smiles when you downloaded southerns flesh pack did you have zbrush running... ive noticed that if zbrush is running it occurs a error when trying to load the material.. all i did to fix it was reload zbrush... after that it worked just fine... you must rename fleshpack minus (.zip)..hope this helps

01-28-02, 02:40 AM

Hi Guys,

That error isn`t from Flesh pack so I`m not sure what is causing the problem. I`ve had a few errors myself. I`ll check it out and let you know.

One thing, test some of the materials and see if they load in the normals.

Sorry I took so long for to respond. Work has been a little muddy lately...
< Needs to clean her work boots lol>
Thanks EZ i will try it, and let you know how it turns out :).
Doc the error is actually coming form the material pack on Southern's default script. <Im a little behind: O > . When I load my original download of Pixolator's script it works fine
Southern thanks so much for looking into it :). I do love the set up of your default script, and im looking forward to see what the texture Manager will be like!
I jumped into the flesh pack ,it loaded fine into the Material list. I see the tools turn into flesh and blood! lol :) :) :)
Thank you all again :) :) :) :)

i think it could be Your
((( ML000 )))
just curious maybe im not thinking right or downloaded the wrong ones.
i see on pixolater and i think i did
s o u t h e r n they say ML000 and like ML001.
but smile on your Pic it shows
MP Not (ML)
BY any chance did you edit the TXT and maybe didn't put some thing back in Place?

Smiles

01-28-02, 09:37 PM

EZ! Thank you!!! I placed the code at the bottom of the material pack <then pasted the default button code> And all works well!!!!!
If it was my ((( ML000 ))) you found a fix lol Thank you! .... And of course Southern thank you!

:) :) :) :) :)

01-28-02, 10:02 PM

ok cool you download this set http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003203
thats why yours said (MP) duh me ok

01-28-02, 10:06 PM

EZ, When I first downloaded the new default script the material and the alpha were not working. So I opened up the script and noticed there was spelling difference such as "ALphaManager" and "Alpha Manager" So I copied the name in the script and created a new folder and pasted the name. Then I was able to have it work. When the material pack wasn't working I attempted to do the same but nothing was working. I re-downloaded the material pack and kept getting the same results.
Im not one who would normally attempt to edit a script, unless it is something that seems "REAL" simple like pasting the default at the bottom of them all lol. In this case I didn't want to edit the name in the script in case it was in more places then I found. Then I would really make a mess of it! It has to be simple to find and simple enough to find it again in order to "undo it" for me to start playing around in there lol.
Either way the link you provided to digits thread did create the fix for what ever was going on.
Hope my answer help's :)

when you said Hi Southern ,
Thank you so much! You asked if we have any problems to let you know..
i thought you downloaded his and i notice in your picture yours said like MP001 MP002
and all Southern are ML like ML001 ML002.
But you said material Pack and i over looked it which the material Pack are MP
off of pixolater and i just thought you were re fering to southern my fault.
but anyways its working glad to hear it.
and what made me wonder it was the ML000 is because all my psd are icon with adobe
and the ML000.psd didnt have a icon i dunno if because it just blank black that made it do that
or defected.
i was fairly sure digits would of been the right ticket
but i was all so checking out any other error that might of did it.
look no icon ML000 i thought it was a defected psd

I need to stay out of the mud, and play in ZB more!! LOL :)
