Really cool Marcus! Very useful plugins.

#103

Hello marcus, has always your script are life saver in production. Thanks you very much for your time and hard work!:+1:
I have updated the script Turntable Plus for ZBrush 4R3, maybe i’m not doing something correctly, but it look like is not taking in account the AA parameter of the BPR?
I’m not sure what to do? The only solution I find is to double the canvas size… but is not as good as the BPR settings for antialiasing.

Am i missing something?:confused:

#104

Hi supermanu,

Thanks for your kind words and I’m glad you find the scripts useful. For Turntable Plus, I’m afraid that it can’t use the AAHalf setting, though if you are using BPR rendering the SPix setting of 3 should give you better results than using AAHalf.

EDIT: Oh, I think maybe you are referring to the edge of the model in the ‘Image’ file exported. This is the same as the Image exported under the BPR render passes and it doesn’t have anti-aliasing at the edge so that you don’t get any of the background color. You need to use the mask image to composite with a background of your choice (in After Effects or wherever). I can see that there should be an option to export a standard BPR render without the passes - I’ll do that when I can get to it.

Thank you for the super quick answer marcus! I understand think much better now.:+1:

#106

this is not working anymore .
edit:link worked a few minutes after I posted

but the next question is still on :slight_smile: :

and do you know a way to move the interface menu divider to the middle of the screen so that more columns of pulldown menus can be dragged and dispalyed at the same time in a largea area of the screen ?

#107

You can have both the left and right trays open at the same time but they can only be one pallette in width (though you can have several palettes in each).

#108

Marcus: Will this thread be renamed, or will a new thread be created for new scripts for ZB4R4?

#109

@Marcus:thanks for the info

#110

Hello Marcus. Is it possible to have multiple versions of your brush toggle? I would like to hotkey a few more of my favorite brushes.

#111

Hi guys. I was just wondering if anyone could help me with how to have the polysphere.ztl (without poles) load automatically. Save me the trouble of opening lightbox every time I open Zbrush.

thanks.

#112

You can set up a macro to load a project when ZBrush starts:

(1)To create the macro, copy this code into an empty text file (in Notepad):


[IButton,???,"Startup macro",
[FileNameSetNext,"ZBRUSH_ZPROJECTS\DefaultSphere.ZPR"]
[IPress,File:Open]
]

(2) Save the file to the ZBrush 4R4\ZStartup\Macros\Misc folder and call it StartupMacro.txt

(3) Now you need to edit the default zscript file. In the ZBrush 4R4\ZScripts\ folder find the DefaultZScript.txt file and open it in Notepad.

(4) Change the contents to this, and save the file:


//startup
[If,1,
	[IPress,Macro:Macros:Misc:StartupMacro]
]
[pd]

Now whenever you start ZBrush the DefaultSphere project will be loaded.

#113

Thanks Marcus, that worked great. :+1:
The DefaultSphere.ZPR changed my UI colours so I saved a separate ZPR and used that one in the Macro instead.

The lightbox still opens all the time though, even though I’ve turned it off in the preferences and saved config several times. Seems to be an ongoing problem it seems.

#114

The latest Z4.4 R2 update fixed lightbox opening… did you install it yet?

#115

Yes I have. For some reason it was still loading lightbox till I changed it to “Run as Administrator” now it’s fine. :slight_smile:

#116

This is true as long as you don’t save your UI, when it auto activate it.

#117

I have a custom UI, and lightbox remains closed. Once of the things mentioned in the install (As just mentioned above) is that they suggest zbrush being set in windows program preferences to run as administrator. Have you set that? Did seting it correct the issue for you?

#118

Reread my sentence and repost.

#119

I already read it. Where did you say you changed the program to run in ADMINISTRATOR MODE?

#120

Excuse me, I was stupid I should have written: do the thing I describe and repost. Sorry.

No, no I’m very sorry I should have just done it for you since you’re too stupid to read:
