Shared ZScripts & Macros

Nothing more than my ZScript that gives me some white paper and a few Pencils.

Have a bit of Fun and see what you can come up with.

One of my sketches is included if you press the show me some sketching button.

TIP: Slow down the ZScript replay time and always click
the white paper button before using the pencils.
The document will try to resize to 1000x1000 so it won’t work in the demo.
You need a screen res of at least 1280x960

Thanks to everyone who sent bits of code. Loads more to do before I’m happy. Please edit and re-post as you need.

now this should prove to be a unique zscript…I love workin in pencil already…now the best of both worlds…I will post my results later I am sure. Thanks for sharing, Glen.

Edit…

worked like a charm…and with my pad was as close to the real thing (pencils and paper) that I have worked with…thnx again…here is the five minute quicky. BTW loved watching you sketch in the script…

Glen,

I have a quick Wacom question:

Short of setting the “tip feel” settings in the wacom control panel for Zbrush, whenever I use it, I get very “Strong” pulls/pushes when sculpting a model.

To the point that I can use Z Intensity of 1 through 3 at MOST. Am I doing something wrong, or why is the response so overly sensetive.

BTW, the setting is the default in the control panel and is a bit “soft” for my tastes in Photoshop an such, but no where near as sentisitive as the pull/push.

So for drawing it works fine, but for sculpting, I’d alsmost get cleaner results using a mouse.

Thanks if you can give some advice,

Andre Khromov

You rock Glen!

Thanks a million!

akhromov, try sizing your model up a couple of sizes in the deformation pallette. That’ll decrease your influence of the drawing cursor.

Thanks it works great!!
Much appreciate it.

Hey Southern,

Have you ever drawn with Alias Sketchbook. It’s an excellent drawing tool, you seem to have captured it’s feel, and then some. I had no idea ZBrush had this capability. Thanks for the script.

Cheers,
Shawn

Thanks Southern.
very interesting script.

#11

thank you southern, this is wonderful.

#12

This is really great Glen! :+1: :+1: :+1:

Discoveries so far:

  1. You can still scroll the canvas around to create seamless drawings. Pencil-drawn textures, anyone?

  2. Selecting a color after your pencil type produces very nice organic results as well, but the thumb-smudge feels wrong on that.

#14

THESP: I downloaded a demo of Alias SKetch book the other week and really liked messing with it so I guess this is a little reaction to that. I really use Painter for most of my sketching but since writing this little script I have found it handy.

CTRLX:If the smudge isn’t to your liking just go in and edit it. The script I have here now has changed from that one as I refine all the sizes, intensity settings, alpha types etc. Please feel free to change anything you want and re-post it.

Cheers,

Glen
