Masking Brush Smoothness keeps resetting?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi guys, loving the new ZB update. Just wanted to mention with my mask brushes now the ‘smoothness’ on the brush by default is set to 25 which I have to set to 0, to avoid a bit of lag when using mask lasso. I’ve tried to create a custom mask lasso with 0 smoothness and save as a separate brush, but it still resets to 25 everytime I launch Zbrush.

Is there a way to set it up smoothness on a brush to stay at 0? Thanks!

Hello @Torcharts

This is a global setting and not saved on a brush by brush basis. I’m not aware of any way to change the default setting at the current time. You could create a script to automatically set the value on startup.

Where is the setting for the smoothness of mask brush? I can’t seem to find it anywhere and would like the old mask lasso feel to it. Thanks in advance

This shit is so annoying! Zbrush come on, fix your fuck up already!

Thanks, I thought I searched throughout all the menus and googled it but still couldn’t find it so I appreciate it.

I’m on 6.6 and I put the lasso smoothness to zero but it’s still acting as if it’s using lazymouse or something, even with lazy mouse off, wth? And how is this useful for “everyone” as a default? Really? How is it useful for “everyone” to be setting things back to the way they originally were after every update for those who have custom configs?

@MadameHoneyJuice yes you must to disable the lazymouse, seems like it enable by default now.

You can do it in different way:

  1. you can clone the mask lasso brush and save it on disk in zstartup/brushpresets/ then add the brush to your Custom UI and store config.

  2. edit the main DefaultZscript.txt

It’s a sensible file to edit, a wrong syntax could lead to undefined result, so please make a backup of the original defaultZscript.txt file before to edit the file.

Here is the code for that :

//startup
[RoutineDef, MaskLassoSmoothness,

    [ISet, "Preferences:utilities:Ctrl",1]
    [VarSet, currentBrush, [IGet, "Brush:Item Info"]]
    [IKeyPress, '2',[IPress, "Brush:MaskLasso"]]
    [ISet, "Stroke:Modifiers:Smoothness", 0]
    [ISet, "Brush:Item Info", currentBrush]
    [ISet, "Preferences:utilities:Ctrl",0]

]

[If,[MemGetSize,startup_mem],
	[IPress,"Zplugin:Misc Utilities:Home Page"]
	,
	[MVarDef,startup_mem,1,0]
	[RoutineCall, MaskLassoSmoothness]
	[IPress,"Zplugin:Misc Utilities:Home Page"]
]

Hope It helps !
