How to get a cutomized Edit Curve to autoload at startup

ZScripting Help
#1

Thanks to TVeyes’ and Svengali’s help in getting this little script to work.

For anyone who wants to load these particular settings at startup:

  • a customized curve (in my case, an Edit Curve)
  • Accurate Curve Mode to “on”
  • Mouse Average set to 4

This is the script for you:

First, make sure your custom curve b has been saved into the ZCurves directory.

[FileNameSetNext, “ZBRUSH_Zcurves/yourzcurvefilename.zcv”]
[ISet, Transform:Edit Curve, 1]
[ISet, Transform:Edit Curve:Load,1]
[ISet, Transform:Modifiers:Accurate Curve Mode, 1]
[ISet, Stroke:Mouse Avg, 4]

[pd]//ZBrush default ZScript

Here’s to a smoother and less convoluted workflow!:smiley:

There’s another way to set a curve which might be useful in some circumstances: using the [IStroke command. You need to record a zscript while you set the curve. Then open the script in your text editor and you can cut and paste the relevant code to your defaultzscript or wherever. The code would look something like this:
