suggestions for new layer features

Layers can provide an immense help to anyone’s workflow, yet I still think that Zbrush’s layers could be more flexible. Here are a few suggestions:

  • ability to merge 2 layers between each other, resulting in a new layer comprising the content of the first 2 layers
  • make layers independent from subdivision level
  • make layers fully non-destructive, i.e. : sometimes when juggling back and forth between layers, subdiv levels, and layer intensity, the effects of one layer remain applied to the mesh even though that layer is switched off

I keep my fingers crossed hoping that these features will make it to ZB4.

You can merge layers easy. Just select a layer and store MorphTarget.
Then select the other layer and push Switch.
