CreaseDivide Plugin (for Z2 & Z3)

Hi all, I want to share my way to keep divided low poly mesh as sharp as possible. In ZB2 every time after importing model I must keep Morph target, divide mesh four times, then I go to first SDiv level and move morph target slider to the right, then I go back to last SDiv level and immediately go back to first SDiv level and again move morph target slider to the right, usually I repeat this step four times.

– Update 1
Within Last few days I learned a lot about ZScripting, and I decide to create my first plugin based on CreaseDivide Macro. Here it is.
Copy CreaseDivide.zsc into your Pixologic\ZBrush3\ZStartup\ZPlugs folder.
Start Zbrush and go to Zplugin\CreaseDivide Subpalette.

But as You expect this update works only on ZBrush 3

Hope this simple plugin will help You.

Awesome, i’ll definately have to try this out.

Using your Macro how many polys are added from the basemesh?
Thanks in advance

I never thought of doing it that way. Nice work! :smiley:

It divides four times. It`s enough to keep mesh as sharp as pissible.

Cool Man,

many thanks for posting that

Great insight. Can’t wait to try the tool.

Thanks Mir-vadim

Awesome!

i dont know if i made it right…but can anyone explain me how do i get those sharp details ? i made a new layer,then divided by the plugin…but it gets the same…why ? can anyone explain step by step for me…thakns =)

You mustn`t create layer, just import model and divide using plugin, make sure that model in edit mode and it have not any divide levels. Thats all.

î like the idea with the layer, very nice, dial in and your creases:+1:

Wonderful!

Many thanks for this very useful tool! :+1:
