Who said I needed help ? If you read my first intervention properly you wouldn’t have wasted your time and responded like I was some kind of retard, I was merely reporting a bug. But then again I should probably have contacted support from the beginning avoiding disseminating informations that could be useful to users.
Damn I’m so stupid…

custom symmetry buttons:

• X, Y, Z buttons for choosing an axis, these do not toggle nor allow you to do XY or XYZ combos, it only uses 1 at a time.
• (R)= turns on/off radial
• numbers are preset amounts for radial symmetry

I made this mainly because I could not keep the symmetry tools from vanishing from my custom menus.

Included source code so you can add/change presets. Very simple code.

Thanks for posting this, though if you upgrade to ZBrush 4R4 Update 2 you’ll find that you can make the symmetry buttons part of a custom interface. Upgrading is free to registered users.

Thanks Marcus, but unfortunately I am running with the latest update and the issue (with symmetry) is still there. -z

That’s strange. Works fine for me on both platforms (though the buttons only appear when I have a 3D tool selected).

Also, you will need to create a completely new custom UI after updating. Any problems you are having could be due to using an outdated configuration file.

Its working fine here. I think I did recreate my ui from scratch, as recommended.

Ok, that’s probably the issue. I didn’t recreate my menu I just drag the symmetry tools to it again. No matter, I’ve grown to like my custom buttons, realizing I never use symmetry with more than 1 axis at a time, and I like having the preset amounts for radial.

This is a beta version of Turntable Plus for ZBrush 4 which I am posting here because some people have found it useful. This will export an image sequence for BPR renders.

I am using 4r4 version I downloaded Turntable Plus for Zbrush 4, and I get an error " Zscript Note: Interface item could not be found. SCRIPT: TurntablePlus_4_02beta.txt ERROR: Render:Create Maps"

Is there a TurntablePlus for Zbrush 4r4?

Thanks

There are several versions in that post. Try the 4R3 version - that should be OK with 4R4.

There is a version for ZBRUSH4 R5??

This is a beta version of Turntable Plus for ZBrush 4 which I am posting here because some people have found it useful. This will export an image sequence for BPR renders.

For installation, follow the general instructions here:
http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Plugin_Installation

Note that this is simply a first pass and there will no doubt be issues and some things may not work as expected. It does not work with the Timeline.

Instructions:
The plugin works in the same way as before except for some new switches for BPR.

• Turn on the Turntable Plus>Best Preview Render switch to use BPR
• You then need to set the little switches to export the different maps
• After pressing the Render Movie button you’ll get the options dialog. Note that if you are using BPR then the HDGeometry, Image, Alpha & Depth options will be ignored - you need to set these options either through the Img, Dep & Msk switches in the Turntable Plus menu or in the case of HDGeometry, the option in the Render palette.
• After the options dialog you’ll be asked to save the first file for each of the different image exports. Note that what Turntable Plus calls an ‘Alpha’ is the BPR ‘Mask’.
• For other BPR Render options, set the options in the Render palette.

Have you tried the 4R3 version? I think it should work OK.

[Doqpelganger]

works fine but…

[Tetsuoo]

Same here I don’t even know how to save the sequence, as i can’t see the options, like shown in the previous post. At best i get an error msg saying “Unable to save” and pointing out the TurntableData folder for some reason.
Tested on 4R5, maybe that’s why

Hi guys,

Apologies for the problems. Download the 4R3 version at the link on this page:

The version you have has a missing data folder which is why the images don’t show. If you are using BPR then you can ignore the options in the dialog box as they apply to Best render but you’ll need to click OK so that the Save dialog appears. I hope to update this for 4R5 soon but it needs a bit of work and I don’t have time at the moment.

Hey Marcus,
Thank you so much for your previous Turntable Plus plugins! When your schedule frees up I, like many others will be waiting to hear about your update for Zbrush 4R5. Thank you in advance and please keep us posted.

Hello guys, Is there a new version of the “seamlesstexture.zsc” with 64 bits avaible?

It would be really apreciated, since Zbrush still has the weird problem with borders, specially up and down.

Thanks.

Hi,

That version will work fine in ZBrush 4R7 64 bits. Just install the SeamlessTexture02.ZSC file in the ZBrush 4R7\ZStartupZPlugs64 folder and restart ZBrush.

(The plugin doesn’t use any dynamic library files [DLLs] which is why its OK for 64bit as well as 32bit. DLLs must be compiled for 32 bit or 64 bit to work with the relevant version of ZBrush.)

Thanks Marcus… I PROMISE I tried it two times in 64 bits and failed… I don´t understand why it works now!.. But I´m glad it works! Thanks and sorry for bothering! Great Plugin!
