ZSceneManager plugin - (SubTools folders)

This is a very cool plugin !

I have a few technical question for you maxime as I wanted to do something similar for the layers.

I understand that this is a window defined in a dll, but I wonder how have you made it so it can communicate directly with Zbrush or that zbrush can communicate with it. (Send command, execute operation) ?

Thanks !

Hi JO,
The communication from ZBrush to ZSM is done by zscript + call dll functions
The com from ZSM to ZBrush is done by asking ZBrush to execute a zscript via command line.

Hey max !

thanks a lot for you answer, it will be of big help :slight_smile:

Any plans to continue evolving ZSceneManager with the new features added with 2019? I still prefer the way your system works over the native folders. Subfolders are a must! I’d love to see support for boolean folders added to the tool.

I do not just prefer… I depend on this plugin to work. The ability to merge for sculpting gives me the possibility to see all subtools in transparency mode altogether. Please update this plugin for zbrush 2019

I’ve got the same error with Zbrush 2021.7.1. Not longer usable this plugin. I’m in deep trouble cause I depend on it for my job! Please fix this plugin for 2021.7!!!

I ask to Maxime, to check the pbl. He will fix it soon. My advice is to reinstall 2021.6.6, and work with until a fonctionnal update will be release. I hope the plugin will be fixed until 2 weeks.
But i don’t understand that any new version of zb haven’t retro compatibility with plugins that work well on previous version.

Hi everybody.
There is an updated for ZBrush 2021.7 available here : Download (PRO+FREE) - EXOSIDE

Wow!!

Thank you very much! This is the best Plugin ever!!!

Edit: Update…
When a save the project and I open it later on some intentionally duplicated subtools have disappeared and is only when I split to parts the original subtool that the the parts repeat twice as if there were same subtools merged.
This is driving me crazy.
Another thing that happened is that when opening the project again there still the presence of that temporary subtool called merged for sculpt and now I can’t make it go or transfer the sculpted zones to the original subtools’. Even though I transferred it before saving and closing Zbrush.

It seems that the plugin is no longer reliable.

Hi, I recently purchased this plugin, but it does not seem to work anymore with Maxon Zbrush 2023. Is there an update that I am missing?

Plugin doesn’t work! I get message: execute-file could not be found and that’s it. I should have tried the trial first, this is crap.
