Finished Plugin/ZScript : Marker Master

OK, try this:

Select the sphere tool and save it with a new name, something like ‘center.ztl’.
This will help place your pieces.

Start MarkerMaster and make sure the red dot is in the middle of the canvas. Also make sure ‘AutoMarking’ is OFF.

Select your ‘center’ tool and draw it on the canvas, not too close to the red dot. Press ‘M’ on the keyboard to mark it. In the Markers palette, switch off the Tool button. Now select the ‘body’ piece and click on the ‘center’ (sphere) marker. Move the body down a bit and mark it by pressing ‘M’. Repeat this for the other tow parts making sure the markers aren’t too close (though you can get pretty close).

When you’ve placed and marker all the parts, select the ‘center.ztl’ again and save it with a new name. It doesn’t matter what.

Having done all the above, click on the ‘Group’ button.

EDIT: actually, having tried this it doesn’t work as I expected. :frowning: The tools get swapped all the same! Your best bet is to not use markers to place your objects - use the gyro instead to move them into a reasonable alignment then use the Group in Edit mode to adjust them.

Superb script and intuitive application… IMHO, Marker Master should be a permanent feature of ZB 2.5… It rocks!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful utility! ***** Five stars!!! :slight_smile:

Hi Marcus,

I’m just trying out you’re plug-in and it seems Great! It’s solves the whole “I-wish-I-could-place-more-than-one-3D-object-at-the-same-time-buju-ju-ju-ju” issue… at least for me anyway :wink:

Just have one question:
If you have a tool that has several SubDiv’s and drop it on the canvas, will the levels still be there or will it just remain on the current SubDiv level that you dropped it?
ei: Tool SubDiv 5 and you drop it at SubDiv 1 using MM can I edit tool level 1 and go to level 5?

I’m not sure if the example was clear enough :smiley:

Thanks for creating and sharing such a GREAT plug-in Marcus :+1:

Hi elarcano,

Thanks for your comments and I hope you find Marker Master useful. :slight_smile:

In answer to your question: yes, you can edit the individual parts of your group, including switching subdivision levels. Simply select the part using the cursor and the Shift+T hotkey. Note that this will only work for the MM group - if you create a composite polymesh your subdivision levels will be lost.

HTH,

Marcus… you’re THE MAN!

Absolutely Awesome Plug-in! Without doubt, the most important one that I’ve encountered so far! And SO easy to use!.. ok, this is starting to sound like an infomercial :sunglasses:

A very BIG THANK YOU! :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

Hi,

I’m really looking forward to using the plug in!

But I can’t download the mac version video from

http://www.raineronline.com/images/flashmarkermaster.zip

It says raineronline is cannot be found.

Any help ? =(

Sorry to be a bother… is there a pdf or txt file tutorial instead?

Thanks!

Hi Pigumon,

Download the quickstart guide from the start of the thread - that contains enough to get you started.

Thanks so much Marcus!

I guess i thought that link was another MM download mirror or something… didn’t even realize it said GUIDE.

I’ll check it out now!

The video tutorial links are broken. Does anyone have another link I can get it at?
Thanks,
Jesse

I have to find it again… I’ll put it up again. Sorry for the inconvenience. But a hosting company vanished without a trail and took the system down without notification and refund… It’s already a while ago… I thought I repaired everything.
Cheers
Lemo

thanks lemo that would be super awesome.

hi the link to download the tutorial doesnt work

Apologies, it looks like the tutorial movie has gone AWOL. :frowning: For those that want to get started with MarkerMaster, the quickstart guide available in the first post of this thread provides all the essential information. For anything else, feel free to send me a PM and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Hi,
I wanted to know if there’s a version of your plugin for zbrush 3 available.
Thanks cant wait to test it!

Hi esareno,

There are problems with multimarkers currently in ZB3, so until those are fixed I can’t update this. There’s rather less need for it anyway with the ability to add subtools to your model. However, I know some people would value an update so I will take a look when I can.

Yeah I am facing the same problem too.

Yes, this isn’t for later versions of ZBrush. This forum - Archived ZScript Utilities - contains older stuff mainly as a record for those interested in zscripting.

thanks any way
