Zbrush - Save settings as default?
polycounter lvl 14
So I have dabbled with Zbrush a few time over the years, but finally decided to make the jump from Mudbox to Zbrush.
Got a bunch of stuff to learn yet.
Anyway so at the moment I am trying to customize Zbrush to my personal preference.
I have done changes to the UI so they make more sense to my Maya/Mudbox experience.
Now there are a few things I simply have no idea how to change.
For example:
- Set the default material to be anything else than the red wax material.
- Set the rotation to 'Rotate on Y Axis' by default.
- Enable Waxpreview by default.
- And so on...
Now I figured out how to add brushes and materials and what not to load in automatically every time I run Zbrush, so i dont need to load them in from lightbox everytime.
Is it possible at all to save your settings in certain menus?
I tried to 'store config' but I assume that only applies to the preferences.
If any of that is not possible, is it possible to make Zbrush auto load a file?
For example if I set the settings in a blank file(or one with a default sphere) it loads that on start up.
I noticed it doesnt keep the 'Rotate on Y axis' even if I load a file, but if it is not possible at all to change the defaults, then loading in a blank file with most of the settings i want is the next best alternative.
Tia!
PS. quick little thing, couldn't find anything about this. Is it possible to disable the 'Safe frame' in the document/viewport?

check out the ZStartup Master plugin, it will cover 90% of your needs. You can also take a look into Macros, using a "set up zbrush to my needs" - macro that you use after startup could cover the rest.
Hope this helps!
Awesome thanks! Ill take a look at those 2 options. =]
