moving the texture on the model...

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I want to move the texture on the model without moving the topology ; is there a way to do that?

#2

Hi, if you have already textured you model you may use ZB´s LIQUID plugin to realign your textures. You can download this plugin here http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/#liquid

Wow I never knew about liquid, it seems very useful and awesome.

#4

Thanks for the answer :slight_smile:
It is probably what I am looking for ; however, the link to the documentation and the installation process is broken and I don’t know much how to install a plugin in zbrush :confused:

#5

Ok I got the way to install the pluggin (put it in the zdata/zplugs folder of zbrush).
Now when I launch liquid, I got the ZScript note “interface item could not be found”
I then cannot move the texture, even with move button and got zbrush crashing after few clicks :frowning:

Hi, wich version of ZB are you using?, those extensions are for ZB2 only, i don´t remember if LIQUID comes with ZB 3.1 update.

I actually have ZBrush 3.1.
Well if this possibility has been made for the number 2, I guess it is possible to create such a plugin for the 3.1.
I don’t know if I am the only one interested in that, but for me it would be an important part of my workflow. Isn’t there a way to do that (moving a texture without the topology) in zbrush 3.1?

Hmmmmm, you can export your model as an .obj and a good hi res displacement map and textures, and work with them in ZB2´s LIQUID the texture tweaking for now and when it´s ready back to 3.1 (your texture map), that´s the only solution i can come with for now.

pff that’s a shame! I don’t even have a copy of zbrush 2, and anyway this process would be too fastidious.
Though I tryed to intall the script image plane (refered there : http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=33715) and I got exactly the same error.
it is:

"zscript note “Inteface item could not be found”

Alpha: Brush00

[IPress,Alpha:Brush00]

I read some recent comments about this script from people who are happy of it, and are probably under 3 or 3.1…

Sounds like a familiar error?

ZBrush 3 extentions coming soon…
I hope they are working weekends! I am… Ok, so I don’t really wish that upon anyone but will be happy to see that page update!

-S :confused:

Image plane is cool, but i think isn´t what you are looking for, if you want to tweak your textures you can use ZAPPLINK 3 (featured in top row) to connect ZB with Photoshop, but with this you can move the texture only in photoshop, it´s tricky, but helpful. Or show us what you need to fix, we may come with some sort of solution for you.
