Toggle alpha script?

ZScripting Help
#1

I tend to use alpha 16 a lot, constant switching distracts from work.
Can anyone help with a zscript that would toggle an alpha on and off.

Cheers! Mariusz

Hi @barayase

@marcus_civis would be the best man to answer this.

Hi Mariusz,

Here’s a macro that will do it. Save the file to your ZBrush 2022\ZStartup\Macros\Misc folder and restart ZBrush or press Macro>Reload All Macros.

You should then have a button called “ToggleAlpha16” in your Macro palette. Pressing the button will toggle Alpha 16 off/on.

Note: if any other alpha is selected then Alpha16 will be selected instead. Pressing the button again will select “Alpha Off”.

Thank you Marcus super appreciated!

I take it this could work with brushes as well, just by changing IPress alpha command?

Cheers!

Yes, you could make it work with brushes. As there is no “Brush Off” you’d need to toggle between two brushes.
