I’m wondering how to save settings like export scale, movie settings, etc.
you’ll want to write a macro to set those settings.
No way! So… write or record a macro? That seems strange to me that the program doesn’t have a more user friendly way to save settings. And so I will need to run the macro every time? That almost defeats the purpose, I might as well set the settings every time.
And what about per tool settings? In the case of displacement maps, it’s suggested that an alpha is selected and the mid value is set to zero, likewise normals require a subtool PA blur of factor 8- those settings seem to be per tool, requiring me to change them every time I switch a tool. I’m just trying to streamline the process of exporting assets.
OK thanks for the info.
I did some reading, and it seems that a macro can auto-run at start up, that is nice. So I recorded a macro and saved it, but it’s not appearing anywhere in the macro palette. I tried loading it, but there is no result. I also tried recording a zScript, but seem to get the same results. I don’t mind getting technical and writing a script- but this seems silly, to save a preference? Is it just expected that I change export values every time? My collar is 34 times larger than the neck it goes around. Gugh… 
macro’s must go inside…
C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush 3.5 R3\ZStartup\Macros\Misc
zscripts go in…
C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush 3.5 R3\ZScripts
Thanks! It seems that the default folder was one folder shy of the location. So I just open it and it runs.
