Hello,
I tried to add a new folder in LightBox but it doesn’t appear.
I’m working on mac os.
I created an alias of a folder inside the Zproject folder but when I open it in LightBox, the alias doesn’t appear. Did I miss something ?
Regards,
Yes, I don’t think Lightbox can see an alias. Should be fine if you create an actual folder though but that does mean you are limited to the local ZBrush folders (unless you want to navigate all the way through Lightbox, which is kind of tedious).
ok Thanks !
I looked into something like this a while ago, when I wanted to link my personal ZBrush assets folders to Lightbox. I managed to get it to work in the end, but it was a bit of a struggle to get there, so I decided to write the procedure (for OSX) down for future use. Here it is:
Configuring ZBrush’s Lightbox to use your own Asset library
Don’t use OSX’s ‘.alias’ feature. It won’t work. Instead, you need to make an actual Unix ‘Symbolic Link’
You can use a pre-made OSX Service for this called ‘SymbolicLinker’, which can be downloaded from here:
http://seiryu.home.comcast.net/~seiryu/symboliclinker.html
It comes in a ‘.dmg’ file that contains a ‘SymbolicLinker.service’ file. Simply double click this file to install it. As a service, it will be accessible from the RMB-click menu in the Finder. So RMB-click on the folder you want to create a symbolic link out of and from the Contextual menu that pops up, select ‘Make Symbolic Link’
The trick (and catch) to this is you have to replace the directory of one of the default areas that Lightbox has with your symbolic link. In my case, I picked “Document”. But you could of course use any of the others, provided that you have no problem with replacing the default ZBrush assets that reside in those folders.
It’s best to have all your assets (Textures, ZTools, Alphas, etc) already neatly organized in a proper, consistent folder hierarchy.
Once you’ve done that, create a symbolic link of the root/master folder of your Asset library and rename the symbolic link to “ZDocs”.
Next you’ll need to delete the original ZDocs folder that resides inside ~/Applications/ZBrushOSX\ 4R5/ (as of ZBrush 4R5) and move your new symbolic link ‘ZDocs’ folder in it’s place.

You may need to restart ZBrush. When you now click on the ‘Documents’ category in Lightbox’ top row, ZBrush links to and can see your assets perfectly.
[/i]Hope this helps you out! 
ok thanks !
