Posing a piece from template

ZScripting Help
#1

Hey Everyone,

I’m hoping to use ZBrush to record the rotation/translation of a model piece, and then to playback those operations on a different (but similar) piece and export the result. I thought that I could just record a z-script and change the file names set before the load and export options, but the resulting script doesn’t actually change the piece; it just loads it and spits it out identically without applying any of the manipulations.

Is this type of operation possible in ZScript?
I’m a competent programmer, but I’m completely new to zscript!
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

If you are using the Tool>Deformation sub-palette for your changes then the result should be as you expect. Using the Transpose Line, or other “in Canvas” operations such as sculpting, may not work correctly when playing back a zscript recording. The reason is that canvas strokes are recorded in the 2D screen plane, so any discrepancies can throw out the whole playback.
