[attach=78605]transposemaster.jpg[/attach]

    Pixologic Release: <b>Transpose Master</b>
     
    <b>Transpose Master</b> allows you to pose a model with multiple SubTools by creating one combined model of the lowest resolution level of each SubTool. Once this low rez version is posed you can transfer the pose back to your original high rez model at the click of a button.
    
 <b>Update 11/26/2008:
   This plugin is now available for ZBrush 3.1 PC and ZBrush 3.12 Mac.  You can get it from the [Download Center](http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins/).</b></span>

    We would love to see your posed models. If you would like to share, post images of your posed model directly in this thread. :)
  
    
    If you have any questions please post them in the <b>Transpose</b> <b>Master Q&T</b> forum [here](http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=54269). :)
     
    <b>Reference</b> 
     
    <b>Install Transpose Master</b>
  1. Download and extract the zip file to your hard drive.
  2. Move the content of the TransposeMaster folder to ZStartup/ZPlugs in your ZBrush directory.
  3. Restart ZBrush and go to the ZPlugs palette.
Use Transpose Master
  1. Load your model with multiple SubTools.
  2. Press TPoseMesh in the Transpose Master sub-palette of the ZPlugs palette. This creates the Intermediate Mesh, which you will pose.
  3. Use masking and [Transpose](http://www.zbrush.info/docs/index.php/Transpose) the Intermediate Mesh.
  4. When done, press TPose>SubT to transfer the pose to the original model with SubTools.
Store Transpose Master's Intermediate Model Between Sessions
  1. Make sure that the intermediate model is in edit mode
  2. Click on the TPoseMesh button and choose the Save TPoseMesh option
  3. Navigate to where you want to store the mesh and press Save
Loading the Intermediate Model from Another Session
  1. Make sure that the original model with SubTools is in edit mode
  2. Click on the TPose>SubT button and choose the Load File from Disk option
  3. Navigate to where you stored the mesh and press ok
Important Notes
  • You must keep the grouping information that Transpose Master creates or re-establish it when transfering the pose back to the original model with SubTools
  • When SubTools have identical vertex counts, keep them in the same order in the SubTool list
Happy ZBrushing!

    v1 notes:
  • Written by Marcus Civis. Powered by Anne-Lise. Developed by Pixologic.
v1.2E notes:
    Fixes the following issues:
  • Collapsing of subtools due to offset/scale error.
  • Overwriting of some textures as AUV tiles.
  • Random masking of tris causing unwanted mesh deformations.
This version also includes smoother handling of non-polymesh subtools and a check for both the ZBrush version and the DLL version.
    Happy ZBrushing,
    Ryan

I loaded my model. It has 12 subtools. The transpose mesh is created but when I use the topological mask it masks one subtool rather than treating all subtools as an entire mesh! So basically… its not working :(.

HELP!

Wow!! That would be such a handy tool. Gonna try it out asap. Thanks Ryan, Marcus and Pixo! These are steps that make Zbrush more powerful.
