Import multiple blendshape as layer at the same time

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello everyone,

For a project I need to import a set of 50 blendshape into Zbrush, each one as a layer.

I know the obj + layer recording import methode but I am looking for an efficient way to import all the shape at the same time.

Do any of you know if there is a way, a plugin or any particular methode to do that ?

Thanks in advance
Antoine

Hi Antoine,

Welcome to ZBC :slight_smile:

There’s a little plugin here that will do what you want:

LayerTools_2022_02.zip (300.2 KB)

To install:

  1. Unzip the file to your Desktop.
  2. Open the containing folder and copy the LayerTools_2022.zsc file and LayerToolsData folder to you ZBrush 2022\ZStartup\ZPlugs64 folder.
  3. Restart ZBrush. You will now have a “Layer Tools” sub-palette in the Zplugin palette.

To use:

  1. With a suitable model in Edit mode, press the Layer Tools>Import button.
  2. In the File Dialog, make sure OBJ is selected in the File Typre dropdown (GoZ is the default).
  3. Navigate to the folder where you want to import OBJs from and select one of the OBJs.
  4. Press OK. All suitable OBJs in that folder should be imported.

Let me know if you have any questions.
