relative brush size

hi,

Has there been any development in later versions of ZBrush to keep the brush size relative to the model you’re working on? ie. if I scale the model up, the brush sizes up too. I’ve found the Store DrwS on the Pixologic website, but it doesn’t really seem to be what I’m after.

thanks

I don’t know of any automatic adjusting. That plugin you mentioned does work for this however, it just requires you to hit the Reset DrwS button after adjusting the view. A shortcut might speed things up a bit.

hm, I’m surprised this has been over looked by the guys at pixologic given all the amazing advancements they’re making. Guess I’ll just have to try and get used to using the plugin.
a shortcut might help yeah

cheers

Yeah both ways should really be available as a “Brush Size: Relative to Viewport / Relative To Mesh” toggle somewhere (the stroke menu perhaps). This was a huge annoyance when trying to draw a continuous tube around the Y-axis of a polymesh using curves. One has to stop, reposition the mesh, then start a new curve where the last one left off. Getting the ends to meet seamlessly and at the same size is nearly impossible because of the fixed brush size as is. I’ll have to take a look at this Store DrwS plugin because it sounds like it might be a good bandage for this problem.

Maybe if we bump it one of the guys at pixologic will see this and write a few lines of code for us… It can’t be difficult surely…

No more difficult than a working Lightbox preference. :lol:
