Export Layer Name List ZBrush

April Schmidt

Did a quick search on PCount and didn't see this, but sorry if there's already info on this somewhere.

I have a couple of subtools (one original and the other a more recent, and edited, copy) in ZBrush. Both have a very large number (well over 100) of layers for morph purposes. I've noticed that the more recent subtool is missing some of the layers from the original and need to figure out how many layers have changed.

I was hoping to generate a list of all of the layers names (and number of layers would be great too) per each subtool so that I can make a comparison. Does anyone know of a script (or perhaps ZBrush has this function built in somewhere that I'm unaware of) that could easily achieve this for me? I'm ready to go down the entire layer list manually for each subtool if I have to, but would love to have a more accurate and less time-consuming solution.  =P

Thanks!

I don't think subtool layer names are easily accessible via script. I can look into it. I remember someone on ZBC trying to do something similar but didn't end up with anything so don't get your hopes up.

Thanks for the input. I'd gotten the same impression about layer names not being easily accessed when searching around for a solution. I might, instead, export out both subtools as FBXs to Maya and see if there's any way to export out the blendshape names from there.
