2.5 D tools for Terrain creation

Hey first I just wanted to say thanks and that you created a great plugin. It’s really useful and I was testing it to try and maybe use it for the terrain in unity with the height map, but I was having this problem after I convert it to 3d and edit it I can’t come back to the top view like in you video to keep using the plugin, everything bugs after I try to edit it, when I export the raw it also does’t maintain the original size. In the video after you edit it you said you pressed T and it exited the 3d edit mode and it came back to frame in the top view, but when i try it never comes back to frame.
So I tried to see if there was any other tutorial to how to use the plugin and saw that you use this forum and wanted to ask you if you could make another video of the Terrain Tools workflows or a tutorial or just help me solve my problem.

This plug-in can’t use terraces in ZB2019

The taper function disappeared after the ZB2018 update. This is a very useful function. Where did you remove it?

When you exit the 3D mode you have a 2.5 D document. So it’s always going to be the TOP view. If you modify the terrain in 3D all you need to do to go back to 2.5 D is go to the TOP view and press T.
I removed the taper option simply because it changed its behavior in the new Zbrush release.

The SIN and COS functions are broken in ZBrush 2019 so the Simulated strokes Buttons, like terraces, won’t work in ZBrush 2019.
I will wait to see if they fix it in the next patch, if they don’t I will make a Dll to fix it.

hope a fix is soon, I love this plugin! BTW dargelos what do you use your plugin to make, what’s the final asset? I use it to make terrain for Unity.

I made a fix that works but I still hope the guys at Pixo fix this issue with ZScript.

Thank you a bunch. It looks like it will work fine now in ZBrush 2019. :+1:

Hi, I was trying to buy your mac version of Terrain Tools I am very excited to use this, bugs or not! Please let me know how I can get access to this plugin. I will even run an old version of zbrush if I have to, I really need the .asc file loading option. Please tell me how to paypal or whatever, thank you for your reply !

Hi, I just purchased this great looking plugin, but I found a bug.
I’m using ZBrush 2021.6.2 Windows 10, and Terrain Tools crashes ZBrush to the Desktop when I use the Elevation button. I use the FIX 2019 button first but it still crashes with or without pressing the button first. The other Stroke options seem to work fine.

May I know what is the license for this in commercial use?
