SMARTDIV: a Plugin Version of Prop_SDiv.TXT
I really liked the concept for the original script here by Marsyas but thought it might be used more often if it were available as a plugin button.
So I created a Smart Div plugin version. For anyone interested in the conversion process, I've included the SmartDiv.txt script.
However, to use Smart Div, you will want to install the SmartDiv.zsc version found in the attached zip file:
[CODE]// Plugin button for Smart Proportional Subdivision - adapted by Svengali, Sept. 05
// Originally, a marvelous tool for a controlled subdivide conceived and posted by Marsyas...

[IButton,"TOOL:Smart Div","Smart proportional subdivision of model",

To install, simply unzip SmartDiv.Zip into the ZStartup/ZPlugs folder. The next time you startup ZBrush2 you'll find a button called Smart Div under the Tool Palette.
Note that the "smart proportional subdivision" will only be performed on a PolyMesh model in Edit Mode.
Thanks Marsyas for a neat and original utility! Hope Zbrushers will find this plug-in version useful.
