Thank you… I’ve got mine all sorted out now and working great! Thank you again for the wonderful script and thanks for that default listing… what a mess I had… lol
Thanks Aurick for your instructions!

Upgrade, with a couple of new features and a few fixes, posted at the start of the thread.

Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time to upgrade it. Works so great as plug-in!

Excellent script Marcus :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

a definite classic for the ZLauncher…:smiley:

Thanks again!

The new version works great, thanks for the new features. Clever how you grab the shaded colour :+1: Very useful.

Hi Marcus,

thanks for putting this together. I´ve been using an older build until now,
which has alllready been a tremendous timesaver and really helped me
getting started with coloring and texturing in ZBrush.

Cheers

I’ll definitely need this. Thanks! :+1:

A great plugin! It makes painting textures a lot easier!

I have just one comment: It would be great if the plugin remembers the folder which i last loaded / saved a palette. It is very annoying to click through all folders every time… :rolleyes:
Then it will be perfect!

Hi Entomogant,
Thanks for your comments and I’m glad you like my plugin. There is a list of last saved palettes - click the tray arrows at the bottom of the plugin. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Other than that what you want is not possible using zscripting, just at the moment. I’ll add it as soon as it’s possible! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

hi :slight_smile:

cool script, very helpfull, but i think that it wolud be great when during the work We could store color in a particular cell using some button -not only hotkeys

In version 2.1 i saw it, and this was very good idea - tiny square

a solution when first I must click the cell and then adjusting color is a little annoying, and makes a little disorder in palette

this is only my opinion :slight_smile: anyway very good work :+1:

my first post :smiley: I just start playing with zbrush…

Hi,

Welcome to ZBC and thanks for your comment. My thinking was that using a hotkey made it quicker to sample colors from under the mouse (without having to set the color first) but it would be easy enough to pick the active color as you suggest AND have a hotkey so I’ll bear this in mind for when I update the plugin. I hope to do this in the not-too-distant future.

I hope you enjoy using the plugin (and ZBrush).

Cheers,

Great plugin, thanks for sharing this with us !

I have one slight issue though, not sure if it’s something i’m doing wrong or what. I cant get the swatch window to stay open. I press ‘b’ and i get it alright, but if then i press ‘[’ or ‘]’ (to resize teh brush), the window closes itself. Is this supposed to happen ? Any way to keep it always open cause it’s very useful when texturing.

I’m using it in zb3.

-thanks

ghonma,

Thanks for trying ZSwatch. What you describe is a problem with zscripting generally in that only one script can be active at a time. The draw size hotkeys [ & ] are zscripted and that’s why using them causes the palette to disappear. Thaere’s not really a way around it, other than pressing ‘B’ again to recall the palette.

I do hope to update the plugin at some time and will perhaps find a better way of working with color swatches.

Wow, thanks marcus. I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time.

I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve created 2 skin tone palattes which I thought would be pretty handy to have around when it comes to texturing.

I’m not sure if I should put them here or start another thread. If you don’t want me to link it here, just say so and I’ll delete this post and put it somewhere else.

SkinTone_Palettes

Woody, thanks for sharing those. I think it’s fine to have the link in this thread. :+1:

I’ve started playing with the poly painting and the very first thing I looked for was something that did just what this did!

It works really, really well. Is it possible to get this working in one of the “flyout” type setups that the ZBrush buttons work with? I’m on a Tablet PC with very low resolution and anything to take up less space is greatly appreciated!

Perfect compliment to Polypaint…

Thanks aaraaf, :slight_smile:

I’d like to update this so that it is easier to use with ZB 3.1. Whether something along the lines of your suggestion is possible I’ve yet to see. I’d certainly like to have a version that doesn’t get dispelled if you use another plugin - the main drawback with this version.

Hey Marcus

Thanks for this, I am just starting to download all the plugins.

anyhow half the plugins on zbc are created by you. :wink:

BTW I noticed today that you became a moderator :smiley:

Thats great man, congrats.

Thanks Sunny, :slight_smile:

Be careful which plugins you use with ZBrush 3.1. Even those for ZBrush 3.0 may not work correctly (the writers will be updating them). Of mine, ZSwatch is OK and Image Plane 3.1 (but this has some workflow issues that need addressing).

Cheers,
