Is there a Shortcut to switch Draw and Tweak Brush ?
In ZBrush2 it was great to switch Draw and Move by [q] and [w].

–E-- has a plugin that assigns the brushes, including tweak, to the number keys: here

A full hotkey editor is due out in the coming months, and you can put them wherever you wish.

Thanks.
No Problems with ZBrush3 ?

Thanks. Nice.
It works . . .

Jack, for customizing to using your own keys, you need the hotkey editor. Which currently needs an update to work with Z3, but just so you know to wait for it’s release. :wink:

Thanks, I will wait :slight_smile:
That is one thing I have learning in the last 1 and a half year :lol:

A workaround until the hkeditor arrives is to record some macros and assign hotkeys to those.

e.g. record a hotkey where you press the std brush button and set alpha to full white records as:

//ZBRUSH MACRO - Recorded in ZBrush version 3.0
[IButton,???,“Press to run this macro. Macros can be aborted by pressing the ‘esc’ key.”,
[IShowActions,0]
[IConfig,3.0]
[IPress,Brush:Std]
[IPress,Alpha:Brush 00]
[IPress,Macro]
]

to assign a hotkey to this, change the last line from ‘]’ to:

,SHIFT+‘1’]

Is the Macro workaround supposed to work in 3.1?
i get error message, that the file is not found.
