Hello,
I would be interested in writing Plugins for ZBrush. Is there a SDK available? I couldn´t find anything and the search only gave me a thread 3 years old.
Thanks in advance
Sam
No, there isn’t an SDK. Plugins can be written using zscripting. For information see here:
thanks first of all, but that´s not really what I am looking for. This is scripting, which is like any other scripting very limited. i want to program more in depth solutions rather than script a macro.
It´s kind of hard to believe that a major application in this field and with a user base as big as this one does not have an SDK yet for more serious extensions of the base application.
Well, ok, thanks that´s all I needed to know.
A public SDK cannot be supported at this point in time. Maybe once the platforms are representing equal versions and the app has not changed in the past few month. Hahahaha… fat chance…

PS:Marcus wrote significant plugins using the scripting language. Give it a try. Can only harm slightly.
Hey Lemo (good to see you here),
I am sure he did. I am also sure you can do quite some cool scripts and smaller plugins with the scripting language however, once it comes down to big projects, performance, code management and flexibility there´s really no way around an SDK and a non-parsed language. And that´s what I am looking for.
But I will take a look at the zscripts during the demo period.
I am also agree with Marcus, I have search but i found the same one so just go for it.
How to create plug-in(s) ? Do they a API / SDK ?
If so where can obtain a sdk ?
As I said in the second post above, there is no SDK. ZScripting is used for writing plugins.
