If it operates as cleanly as the videos make it look that will be a huge upgrade when working in complex scenes.

the old demo version has frozen my screen a lot. - only way to get out was via ctrl+alt+del to get to the welcome screen and to start the taskmanager from there and killing the plugin.
Never the less bought the plugin and once you activate  <Use System Windows style> within the options of the plugin,
it starts to be pretty good and there are no bugs so far.
* they have the process explained in the FAQ http://exoside.com/zscenemgr/zscenemgr-doc/

Been using this for a couple weeks now. Its fantastic. I dont think I can go back to managing 40 subtools without it now.  It "sorta" reminds me of the 3dsmax Scene manger interface.

Hmm the page doesn't look like it's downloading. Any way to re-upload?

Are the names locked to your zbrush session? If I send it to someone else and then have the plugin can they see my organization?

Just started using this plugin last night. Such hotness! It's a huge time saver for projects utilizing many subtools. Totally worth the cost for the pro version.

Beefaroni, the organization data is encoded in the subtools' names, so it gets saved with the .ztl. There is also a function in the latest version that restores all of the original names, solving Dustin's problem with client delivery.

Oh perfect! Thanks for the info. It should be good for a studio based environment then.

Wow! Thanks for the headsup! Is that subtool merging non destructive? Dang I want this one.

Finally got around to installing the trial on my home computer. Working great so far with this project. Will definitely recommend it at work!
