Pixologic Release: Reset Brush - a plugin for ZBrush 3.1 (updated 2/25/08)

Shared ZScripts & Macros
#61

In Projection Master, I switch to the cloner brush, color spray, switch alpha, turn off mrgb and zadd, and turn on rgb every time I need to paint out a seam on a head, or touch up my head maps. I could definitely use it!!

Ah, now I understand. The cloner brush is one of the 2.5 tools (in the tool palette), rather than a sculpting brush in the Brush palette, so is outside the control of the Reset Brush plugin. But any 2.5 tool can be saved. All you need to do is this:

  1. Select the Cloner brush. You don’t need to be in Projection Master, simply not have a model in Edit mode.
  2. Set it up how you want with your preferred settings and the alpha.
  3. From the Tool palette, save it to the ZBrush ZTools folder as a ztool, clicking yes to save the alpha along with it.

You can then just load that file any time you need it. You could even record a macro to load it using a hotkey.

HTH,

My brush settings seem to be getting whacked quite often after I’ve installed this plugin. I’ve also never used custom brushes - only the ones that ship with zb.

The problem I’m running into is that if I’m using one brush, then switch to another, many of the parameters are transferred to the new brush, like alphas, intensity settings, rgb modifiers, etc… this happens in the middle of a session simply by switching brushes.

Hitting the reset button works for a few minutes (I’ve save the custom settings correctly - I believe), but then the process repeats itself shortly thereafter. Is this a known issue? It happens so much I’ve just made a hotkey for it and use it when ever I switch brushes now.

I skimmed through this thread but didn’t notice this coming up… Anyone running into this?

This is a known issue with ZBrush but if you feel the plugin is part of the problem then uninstall it. You may find that avoiding using ‘Alt’ to switch brush modes (such as between ZAdd & ZSub) helps maintain brush settings.

Hi. Great plugin. But I’m having the same problem as Hamu. When I click on the reset brush button (which I dragged out in the UI) it disappears and a second instance is in the brush menu.
Was there a solution? Thanks.

Ken,

Thanks for the comments. I am aware of this issue and will correct if I update the plugin but I don’t have plans to do that just now. Instead of dragging to your custom UI you could assign a hotkey to the plugin button to speed use.

Cheers,

thanks mate…ur the man!

Marcus, this is a bad@$$ script. Thank you so much!

#72

Very helpful plugin Although when I shift click the reset brush button to store new settings, in this case so that my standard brush stores a custom alpha it doesn’t store the new setting when I click the reset brush.

#73

When adding a new custom alpha you may need to restart ZBrush before the brush will reset properly.

Edit: Nevermind, i figured it out.

Thanks for the great plugin :smiley:
