4r8 p2 - Ability for lower case letters at the start of subtool names

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

When exporting out my high poly subtools to bake in substance painter I have been using the match by name feature to get clean bakes. The zbrush fbx exporter is super helpful in exporting out all my meshes into once neat little fbx file that i can bake with.

The annoying thing is that i need to make sure all my maya low poly mesh names have a capitol letter to match up against the zbrush subtools names since they force capitols for the first letter in their name.

Is it possible to remove this and let lower case letters be used for the starting letter in subtool names? It was awesome that we can use underscores properly in 4r8, i would love to see this lower case ability to make baking a little bit easier :smiley:

cheers!

This little macro will make the starting letter of each subtool lower case. Save the file to the ZBrush 4R8/ZStartup/Macros/Misc folder and then press Macro>Reload All Macros. You should then have a new button called “LowerCaseAll” in the Macro>Macros>Misc sub-palette. Press the button to change the subtool names.

omg that’s awesome! thank you !

would be nice for this to be a native feature but this will do nicely until then!

Cheers!
