Macro to append a Zsphere?

ZScripting Help
#1

Hey all! Still kind of new to Zbrush, as I’m being taught mainly in Maya. I am taking a course on Zbrush, and they teach retopology in Zbrush. From what I read, most people don’t like it. I’m still fairly new at it, but the speed of which I’m able to do it in Zbrush using Zspheres isn’t that much slower than using Topogun, and Topogun crashes on me a lot. My question is, to make the process a little bit faster, how can I set up a macro to append a Zsphere of a certain size? Or maybe 2 or 3 for different sizes? I’ve tried recording it in Zbrush, and it didn’t work.

Tried to create the macro, maybe it will help :

[IButton,???,“Press to run this macro. Macros can be aborted by pressing the escí key.”,

	[IPress,Tool:SubTool:Insert]
	[IPress,PopUp:ZSphere]
	[ZSphereEdit,[ZSphereSet, 4,0, 0.1 ] ]  // Change the 0.1 to  change the size
	[IPress,Tool:Topology:Edit Topology]

]

In the command reference search for ZsphereEdit and ZsphereSet.

Zsphere retopology is cool, but try to watch some tutorials on the topology brush and Zmodeler, mixed with some insert brushes and a custom interface, it makes retopology easy.
