custom hotkeys? I am left handed and my right hand is toooo far from keyboard shortcuts ... Love the program but without custom hotkeys its almost unusable for me

@Muddpitt, MealeaYing
A simple solution for the moment, the quasi autoretopo
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=143454

At least it eliminates this cottage cheese issue.

I am making a little progress with this, I have a way to go yet and some things to learn but Im about 1/2 way there I think!
THANK YOU!


Cheers!

I am left handed as well, what keys are you having trouble with?

I found the solution for custom hotkeys in Sculptris: Autohotkey.
If you are left handed, here is a script made for you.

I use this script of Adam Lewis for custom brush-size hotkeys.

Maybe it`s in your email spam folder.

By the way, anyone else having problems opening Scultris Alpha 6 (Windows 7)?
Unfortunately it always crashs immediately.
I uninstalled and installed it again but it still doesn`t work.

1. GoZ to zbrush
2. duplicate the mesh
3. use decimator master at extreme settings (try a 3-6 k resulting mesh)
4. export as obj and import again (have import settings-tri to quad on)
5. append the two meshes
6. subdivide and re project.

Ok I sort of got it, I dont quite grasp #3 and part of #4 "have import settings-tri to quad on".
But I did get some results and I think I can improve them a lot as I missed a step I think, the subdivide bit.....
These are tools I haven't done much with and haven't got a good understanding of yet. (not subdivide, I push that past its limit all the time! hehe!)
I think that this problem is 100% fixable, I also think that someone with a little more experience and knowledge than me is going to have a bit more success than I am at least for now.... however, Im going to keep working one it:
This was a Sculptris Object:



It came from this (and I forgot to subdivide before projecting)



and this last one where I subdivided twice (by mistake), it took almost an hour to project but it got so much detail that it actualy uses square polygons to describe the triangle ones, its easy to smooth too which is great, next time I think I will subdivide once as per Michalis's instructions






GRIN!!!
I love this, Im having way too much fun

Yeah, this program doesn't seem to like hyper-threading on my i7 machine -- as long as I only set the affinity to the physical cores it flies, enable any of the hyper-threaded "virtual" cores and it slows to a unusable crawl.

Must be select systems. I'm running it on a Core i7-980x. No problems with hyper-threading on my end. Sculptris runs just fine, even with the affinity for CPU0 - CPU11 all turned on. If anything, Alpha6 runs a bit faster than Alpha5.

My only issue is that Sculptris complains when more than 24 edges are connected to a single point. This is a problem that shows up when you GoZ a Sphere from ZBrush. (Doesn't happen consistently, oddly enough.)


BTW, my system specs are.

- Intel Core i7-980x @ 3.33GHz (6-cores & 12 threads)
- 24GB RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
- Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1

I'm already incorporating it into my toy and statue sculpting workflow...it's fantastic. Works great on tessellated scan and voxel generated tri's. Dynamic tessellation is nothing short of revolutionary in my little corner of the digital world. Cannot wait for this to develop further. I recall the last build had file size limitations and haven't really gone there yet to push it but all in all, I am really, really happy with this.

Sculpts buttery smooth and clean.

Great stuff.

Thank you !!!

is symetry still a one way operation?

From my understanding Windows 7 has special hyperthreaded optimization routines that previous versions of windows do not enjoy... which would likely make the difference. I do intend to upgrade my OS but right now I am in the middle of a long project where I cannot.

Loving sculptris, Especially now that the controls are like Zbrush.
Can't wait for an AutoRetopolgy tool built into GoZ to get from tri's to quads.
