ALTERNATIVE 4R7 UI (With Updated Files)

[Doug Jones]

It's taken me 3 years to get the UI to this state. The "OOB experience" wasn't quite the ticket for me. I'm fairly satisfied now
New users may find they're able to come to grips with the interface faster than with the 'stock UI'. I've managed 6 buttons for what I deemed were the handiest views. All files are in .txt format so you can see what you're installing, rather than a .zsc which takes a lot of blind faith.


Added some stuff too; Some quick Canvas sizes and colors too Please follow the limited instructions Some things might not work as desired. Working on that
Ensure you put the files in the right places, be safe, keep a back-up.

DefaultZScript.txt
PlaceInZBrush4r7ZStartupMacros.zip
You'll need Clean Tool from on the forums.
Happy 4R7 ZBrushing Feel free to check back for updated stuff as I get to it.

So, I worked on the button code some more.
Updated Canvas Size.

[Doug Jones]

OK, I did some stuff, I hope you like the newer versions better. It's better in 3 folders. Place all 3 in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush 4R7\ZStartup\Macros or Mac equivalent. Here's what they look like

Newer files in later post. New versions very similar to what is shown.

Do you know is it possible to remove the "Dynamic" button from the Brush Size slider when pressing S button? This is the main reason why I'm still using R4. During the sculpting process I do everything very fast and with introduction of Dynamic brushes I often miss the Scale slider. This slows down my workflow and is very VERY annoying. I would like to bring back the old fashioned S menu if it is possible

[Doug Jones]

@ truthhunter , Thank you for the feedback.
@ Vir Norin , You posted that here why? Did you download anything? You now have to hold down shift, while clicking Dynamic, to turn it off.

[Doug Jones]

Didn't like it. Replace the old folder with the same name.

[Vir Norin]

Oh, that's nice to know. I took just a quick glance at R7 since I'm not really interested in its new features and from what I saw this Dynamic button is still here. But it is nice to see they addressed a problem. Thanks!

Posting here for later review, thnaks mate

COLOR buttons now give choice for gradient. COLORS, COLORS 1A and COLORS 2. The SUPER 7.zip has 2 .cfg files and the StartupMacro.txt A few improvements but Errors are still possible. Esc doesn't always escape from dialog boxes. But you have choices for stuff

Some menus collapsed. Most of the cool ones are shown

[Doug Jones]

There was at least one 'issue'. Maybe you noticed. And I found another one. Should be better now Added something too, but max width is the limit.
CANVAS SIZE.zip

[Doug Jones]

Looks like some people find them useful. I edited my earlier post, it has new files. Looks like some people got a faulty set and should download again. Sorry they weren't right that last time. Enjoy.

Things were a bit long when open, so I updated it. Takes place of all the canvas buttons previous to this. (I reorganized the folder structure)
CANVAS.zip After unzipping; The whole folder lives in .. HINT >> C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush 4R7\ZStartup\Macros
