Canvas Color Palette (zb3.1 & zb3.5)

industripop - Thank you, glad you like it. Nice to know it works for the Mac version.

Thanks so much,
This is very helpful to me and i really appreciate all your
hard work and effort.

I did have trouble with the swatches getting due to
canvas being cutoff from UI.

So i thought i would use the new option in 3.5
"The W next to New Document" to create a new document
window with the size of the viewable canvas.

But it seems that once the document gets resized the plugin
doesn't update with it. So if you create a smaller document,
the swatches get cut completely off.

Is there anyway you could add a center button, so that
they start from the bottomcenter or topcenter of the canvas.

Either way...love the plugin, so thanks.

Xsmoke - Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to send feedback.

I have been spending some time this morning trying to replicate your findings. The only time I could get the plugin to fail to make a color patch was when Edit mode was turned off.

Currently, if Edit mode is off, the plugin exits and does NOT make a color patch. That is intentional, and somewhat lazy code writing on my part. Looking back the documentation that I provided in the op, I did not mention you have to be in Edit mode for the plugin to work.

Hopefully making sure Edit mode is ON will fix your issue.

If I have some time, I may make an updated version of the plugin based on everyone's feedback from this thread.


Thanks,
Todd

Is this safe to use with 4.0?

Its exactly what im looking for right now.

[toddp]

@phrenzy84 - I have not updated it for Z4. It does not appear to be working properly now that I've finally tried it in Z4. An update will come this week.

[toddp]

The update to ZB 4.0 is done. Made a new thread for it as suggested by marcus_civis.

Thanks!

I'm a little unclear on how you put this on the interface. Can you drag the entire control palette over, or do you have to move each button one by one?

[toddp]

Hi Gareee,

You should first use the ZB4.0 version which you can download here. In regards to the buttons, yes, you have to drag them one-by-one to the new location as detailed here. As far as I know you cannot move more than one UI item at a time.

[Gareee]

Thanks. I was referring to the new version.

I wanted to redo my UI anyway, and have it in place now. I still need to create the shortcuts.

This looks like a real time saver. Thanks!

Holy molly, This is exactly what i been looking for long time ego. So cool man u r Canvas color palette is awesome. . Before i using manual paint on plane and snap shot the canvas so much pain in ass. Well this saves lot of time and pretty straight forward. So here some suggestion you might already know but in-case just would like to share. U know the color palette are fixed color once we choose, would handy if that changes manually when ever we want the color instead of fixed. like the Zbrush 2 palettes we can change color any time we want. Cheers Dude.

If I'm understanding correctly, you would like to update a swatch after you have pasted it to the canvas?

If that's the case, any time you hit the same swatch number, and as long the the top/bottom, left/right, horizontal/vertical buttons are the same, a new color will replace the old.

O yeah we can change later as well. I didn't see that. that's really handy. thanks dude.

Just curious have you got any script on Morph UV painting. Like paint on UV layout in morph. Default Z brush wont allow you to paint on. Cheers

I don't have a UV painting script. If I ever need to paint on the flattened geometry, I paint basic regions in 3D, then create a 2D texture ( Tool:Texture Map:New From Polypaint ), then open it in Photoshop and paint.
