New plugin : Crop Tool - Updated

Shared ZScripts & Macros
#41

Marcus I have two suggestions for you to make this crop tool sleeker and better.

  1. After we create the crop box - if we can input the dimensions directly that will be really better instead of using the arrows… :wink:

  2. If after the box is visible we can just select the box and move the whole crop selction with it , placing it anywhere we want ? :smiley:

I think it might be diffcult thats why you never made it that way at the first place.

But you can do something to the arrow buttons to make the crop faster, because everytime its not possible to cancel and crop again because of need of its exact placement and dimension.

When we click on arrow buttons to increase both placement and dimensions- we have to repeatedly keep clicking the mouse button, this way it takes lot of time, if differnce is 100 - 500 pixels specialy for large illustrations like of 4096 x 4096 where u cannot accurately snap the box with mouse…

If you can script it in a way that if we click once and do not leave the mouse button it keeps adding or subtracting without need of clicking again like in many softwares.But when we leave mouse button - it stops. Also if we press and leave it still should behave the same way its behaving now.

Scipting - if mouse button is down it keeps adding/subtracting( both dimensions as well as placement)- i think this programming isnt tough ?

That way even if you are not able to create something for the 2 suggestions above- the problem of cropping it fast will be solved without taking lot of time( for us) and programming ( for you)

let me know what you think. :smiley:

Wicked,

There are limits to what can be done with zscripting - I’m using a zscript Note here creatively to start with - but some of what you suggest may be possible, and I’ll bear it in mind for when I get around to an update.

Cheers,

Yes marcus

I realize zscipting isnt that easy to use or even to learn- I am still not getting hold of it. :roll_eyes: :smiley: :wink:

But zbrush itself is so unique that I think zscripting can be used to create lots and lots of amazing plugins for zbrush in future versions.

These ideas pumps me up, to learn zscripting when ever I give up on it.

We need more creative people here , like you marcus , I might soon join this bandwagon too. :slight_smile:

Keep creating more plugins :+1: :+1: :+1: , hope you get around the update of crop tool soon.

Thanks Wicked, and have a go at zscripting yourself if it interests you. We could do with a few more zscripters around here. :slight_smile:
Cheers,

Hi tdrs,

I’m afraid that at the moment an update to these two plugins is impossible due to restrictions in ZBrush 3 zscripting. :cry:

Thanks for your reply:+1:
It is sorriness.:cry:

#49

Still no chance of an update, Marcus? Has ZB4 opened up any new possibilities for you?

Cheers,

There is a small chance that I might be able to implement this in a sightly different way. If I have any luck I’ll post the result.
