Quicker way to insert Sphere in 4r8?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m really liking this new release except for the fact that i can’t insert sphere/cube as quickly as before.

I had insert sphere bound to a key, it would let me add mass quickly and reshape quickly. Just like real clay.

However in 4r8 I can’t do this anymore. I can only bind the insert primitive menu, that then forces me to browse the primitive imm meshes menu at the top. It’s an extra 2 steps.

Am I missing something? I would like to bind individual shapes to key or custom menus like I could in 4r7.

I don’t mind the imm browser for kit bashing models, but for simple primitives, it seems to be a step backwards.

Thanks

What you can do is record a Macro for selecting the primitive insert you want then you can just hotkey each button.

The InsertSphere and InsertCube brushes are still included with ZBrush 4R8. They are in the ZBrush 4R8\ZBrushes\Insert-IMM folder. You can copy the files to the ZBrush 4R8\ZStartup\BrushPresets folder and then they will load every time ZBrush starts, so you can assign hotkeys and use as before.
