crlt-c and ctrl-v

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Why not a cut&paste (ctrl-c and ctrl-v) on ZBrush?
Well, here is my ideas on such function within Z:

  1. Capture ‘volume’ using a tool like MRGBZGrabber
  2. The captured object can be viewed as:
    a) a true 3D object (i.e. a cube with one face like the the canvas grabbed) or/and
    b) a group of pixols which can be positioned with gyro
  3. Should be possible save and load the copied object :wink:
    In this way we can ‘copy’ layer and, if this function works on active 3D objects, ‘copy’ part of object too.
    I can’t express correctly my ideas :(, but i hope you understand me.

What do you think?

… complex for a result can be seeing as a gadget :slight_smile:
'Cu’t an object + background is not so evident !

And the “Clone” function exist :slight_smile:

When an object is active the background is not used :wink:
The background is always flat…you build depth when drawing
And clone do not allow to save…

I am trying to understand what you mean so bear with me if I am completely wrong.

If you draw a cube, let’s say, and then grab it up you have both the alpha and the texture. If I am getting your idea right…could you not then create a mini script that could use ctrl c/v to…take the alpha, make it a 3d object that then could be “pasted” redrawn whereever you choose?
