ZScript request for Gentle Giant Studios - paying gig

ZScripting Help
#1

Hey you ZScripting gurus. I need a zscript written to fufill some pipeline needs at my studio. We will pay and if you feel you can handle this task please contact me at
[email protected] so we can talk about it.

The ideal functionality we need is as follows, if any of this is impossible I am flexible, lets talk:

I need a script that will let me point to a folder of ZTools
the script needs to open each tool one at a time
generate normal maps via zmapper
genrate displacement maps via displacement exported
flip and export a texture if one is active on the ztool
export level 1 appending a user specified string to the filename

I would also like the script to be able to import objs from a folder and reconstruct subdiv on each one saving as a ztool.

Have you considered something like WinRunner?

#3

are you using zb3?
I havn’t done anything with zmapper but the rest should be possible. I will try looking into it for you this week.

Does it need to be mac, pc, linux, all ? The reason I ask is that zscript works seamlessly with dll's, but that locks you into WIN32/64 . Also does it need to be run on the user machine, or would you have a specified machine running to do this in the background (as it may take a while depending on the size of the model and/or files in directory) . Also if you are developing it for your pipeline, you may want to make it work from a commandLine so you can use it with your render manager. The more info you can give would help. Go ahead and private message me and we can take this further.

(EDITED: actually I will email you at the email address you provided above as soon as I run some tests with zmapper )

Didn't look when this was posted, so if you are not still integrating this into your pipeline let me know. 

Talk to you soon.

Zbrush 3 has all of that macro capability now right? Maybe you don’t need anything special any more.
