Tutorial - Changing the default start options

Cool tips and that being your 1st post is most appreciated. Curious to know if you have any idea as to how I can change what the Title bar displays. It appears to be showing my reg key in brackets and “by Ofer Alon” next to it.

I have seen where people have their names placed in the title bar and always wondered how they did that.

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words.
And no, I do not know how to change the content of the title bar. I looked through all the options in Zbrush and couldn’t find anything. My guess is that you would have to edit one of the configuration files in the install folder. Sorry I can’t be of much help in this case.

the key at the top isn’t your reg key. It’s just a random number…Aurick said what it was in a post right after 3.5 came out.

#5

Yep, I had to double check the key after I posted. I knew that I had made a mistake, but don’t have my reg key memorized.

I guess that it’s not really an issue to have my name on the title bar, but I figured that if I owned the proggy then I should be able to customize it as I see fit, right?

One thing that I forgot to mention is that, if you save a start up document and you wish to share a z-script, you will have to include a copy of your start up doc with the script in order for someone to use it. Something that Aurick mentioned in response to my post about changing the start up document size to open at that resolution.

Thank’s so much, Count !!! That sphere has been driving me crazy…haha

I’ve tried the “lightbox” trick too… it just wouldn’t work for me and kept coming back (win7, 64bit…don’t know if it makes a difference)

To keep the Lightbox turned off, I had to turn it off in Pref’s like you said, then go to Pref/Config, and hit the “Store Config” button…

Now it’s gone at start up too.

Thank’s again !!! :smiley:

Just wanted to add a tip to an already great list of tips.

In Zbrush 3.5R3, there’s a button at the bottom of the Document menu>Save As Startup Doc, which will save the StartupDocument.ZBR to the correct folder for you.

Resurrecting this necro thread…

I’ve tried the tip to change the background, but whenever I choose New Document, the background changes to a lighter grey then the I saved in the config file. How can this be? I’ve also saved a new startup document with the darker grey, but it still goes to a lighter grey whenever I choose New Document…

Thanks!

Anyone knows how to prevent zbrush from launching kinda full screen and stupidly covering start bar? I have no idea who would like to want it.

In Zbrush 4R8 there is some annoying home page with promo crap. How can we disable it?

“In Zbrush 4R8 there is some annoying home page with promo crap. How can we disable it?”

In ZBrush apps folder go to ZScripts folder, find “DefaultZScripts.txt” and rename it to examples: “Mute-DefaultZScripts.txt or *DefaultZScripts.txt”.

Anyone knows how can I change the default Mask, Smooth, Clip Brushes?

e.g. Currently, its set to ‘MaskPen’, ‘Smooth’ and ‘SelectRect’ but I would like it to start with ‘Mask Lasso’ & ‘Smooth Directional’ brushes instead?

#19

So I’ve go the gradient to go away and when I store config. it does not save that part. I have to keep changing the gradient back to solid every time I open zbrush. I’m on the newest build of zbrush 2020.1. Any help would be appreciated. I hate the gradient.

#20

Hey there , I have the same problem. I hate the gradient too.
The closest I could get is to save the document with no gradient under Document> Save as Startup Document and then Open it as soon as I launch Zbrush.

Still too many steps, seems incredible that there is not a more convenient way to disable it.
If anyone has any solution it would be great,
Thanks

#21

Hi there I think I’ve found a solution.

Open Zbrush , go under Document>Range , remove the gradient and set the color that you prefer.

After that Save as > and save the document as a backup.

Now just click Save as Startup Doc .

Now you are done!
Close Zbrush and as soon as you start it should have the new document that you choose.

Hopefully no more gradient!

Cheers
