Zscript : XYZ Adjust (rev B) ****** updated the 14th of June 2004

Shared ZScripts & Macros
#141

I am glad you like it, thank you for the kind words.

U_L - Unfortunately I could not find a way to put the interface in a floating palette through scripting, but as Spaceboy said, you can arrange the buttons yourself in a custom palette and assign the custom palette a hotkey.

Spaceboy - I have finished a version with some additional features, however, any functionality to modify position, size or root zsphere did not make it. Sorry. There is a nasty bug preventing most of that functionality, which I am sure Marcus has made the relevant people aware of.

AhOld -
1: It is possible to modify zspheres numerically through zscripting, although right now there is a bug preventing this. But straighting a chaing of zspheres is easy to do manually. In edit move mode, click and drag on a zsphere or zsphere link to straighten all the children (note: this will not work on the root zsphere).

2: Morphs can be done by storing a morph target before you change anything and while viewing the zspheres (not the preview). You can then reposition the zspheres, enter preview mode and press Tool > Make Polymesh3D to generate a new tool. Do this for each morph. When done export all morph tools as .OBJ files and you can then use a morph target on a polymesh tool, import .obj files to change the morph and the morph slider to interpolate between morphs. However, the morph direction is not taken into account.

3:I think I know what you mean but I don’t think ZBrush would be the ideal application for that. A combination of the above together with 3DSMax is as good as I can imagine right now. It should work as the above method creates morph .objs with equal vertice counts and vertice order.

Hope that helps, if not then perhaps the question & troubleshooting forum can offer more ideas :wink:

Perhaps you are loading the plugin manually ? ZSphere Tweaks needs to load 2 plugin files (ZSphereTweaks.zsc and blank.zsc). Try loading both.

In order to load the plugin automatically you should unzip the ZsphereTweaks.ZIP file to the Zbrush3/ZStartup/Zplugs folder. Next time you start ZBrush the plugin will be ready.

Hope that helps.

I have unzipped all to a folder named ZSphereTweaks in Zbrush3/ZStartup/Zplugs but it dont load automatically if i start zbrush. :cry:
i have read your instructions!
have tested and load ist manually (strg+shift+L) but the blank.zsc is not loading. :o

i will test it soon again (wait a minute ;) ). sry for my bad english. :(

Edit:
have looked but it dont work. :cry:

Hi there TV Eyes :slight_smile:

Personally, I’ve only found absolute perfection in your updated plugin*
*Better say here that I’m still on the old Win XP 32 Bit for a while yet (away from work);
so - good on yer :wink:

Arts - Ah, I see. Zbrush only loads plugins from the ZBrush3/ZStartup/Zplugs folder, it does not look for plugins from any subfolders.

You’re folders should look like this :

Zbrush3
----Zstartup
--------Zplugs
------------ZsphereTweaks.zsc
------------ZSphereTweaksRebound.zsc (not blank.zsc, sorry :o )
---------—ZSphereTweaks (folder)
-----------------lots of data files

Let me know if that works for you. And by the way, your English is just fine :+1: :slight_smile:

Atwooki - Thank you :slight_smile: A slightly updated version is just around the corner. But not before the ZPlugin Installer, which cannot come soon enough. No offence intended Arts :wink:

#148

Its working fine :slight_smile: with blank.zsc but i dont see any changes after using it on a axis. :o

After rename blank.zsc to ZSphereTweaksRebound.zsc and restart ZBrush i cant use the Plugin because all is grey. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comment of my english. :smiley:

#149

(^0^I only start studying ZB few days ,but i think ZSphere Tweaks can make more convenient for it:) )

Thanks again~~~~

Thanks from me too, ZSphere Tweaks seems to have installed ok, It works ok after renaming 'blank > ZSphereTweaksRebound.zsc: ZB 3.1, MacPro, 10.5.5

#151

finally,i’ve found this!!:idea:

#152

Thanks a lot for this plugin TVEyes - very handy! :smiley:

#153

tveyes, unfortunately this plugin is not working as it did in 3.1, with classic adaptive skinning selected it will change the resolutions of the zspheres, however while in preview mode you can no longer see the changes in realtime as they did in 3.1.
also digits awesome zsphere zifclick is having issues as well, it would be great to see some kind of joint plugin from you two.

#154

sorry for reviving this thread, but I just had to add that this plugin is VERY VERY USEFUL, thank you for developing and sharing it :slight_smile:

#155

Will XYZ Adjust be adapted for R3.5 (and also for the R4 in the future, if then still needed)?

That would be very appreciated! :cool:

And it would be even better if Pixologic would incorporate its functionality in the coming ZBrush R4. :wink:

#156

i’m always looking to updates/improvements on this plugin and any others Mark has up his sleeve.

#157

Hi!

This script doesn’t seem to work anymore with version 4. I load the script, hit ‘k’ while hovering over a z-sphere, and nothing happens. Any chance of getting this updated?

Thanks for any info!

#158

hope this works for ZB4 one day :frowning:

#159

The ZSphere Tweaks zplugin should be working just fine in ZBrush 4.0. If you are having trouble then remember that:

1 ) In ZBrush 4 you hold CTRL and ALT to assign shortcuts to interface items. By default, there is no shortcut assigned to the ‘Pick ZSphere’ button.

2 ) Remember to turn on Tool > Adaptive Skin > Use Classic Skinning for each zsphere tool you use with ZSphere Tweaks. The default skinning in 3.5 and 4.0 ignores the XYZ Resolution and Membrane Curvature values. However, the Twist value is valid in both skinning modes.

Amongst other zplugins I am also working on a new version of ZSphere Tweaks. But the current version works fine in ZBrush 4.0 (only tested on PC).

Cheers

I’ve literally spent all day looking for a way to copy and paste zsphere chains. Literally hours. My goodness I have the biggest headache.

I couldn’t manage to use Digits program, I’ll give it another shot tomorrow.
Anyway far as I know, zsphere tweaks can’t do that yet?

Please could you let me know if it might be soon, if at all?
