Z3 Plugins and Zscripts
Last edited:  08/01/07

Ok first off I would like to mention that the majority of these plugins are created by folks on/in their own
free time so if you like it, use it...then by all means THANK these folks! We want them to keep motivated! 

marcus_civis

• DrawSize/focal shift hotkey plugin   - This plugin is for adjusting your Draw Size, Focal Shift and ZIntensity
  without interrupting your work flow.

• image Plane 3 - image plane 3 provides an easy way to load images into zbrush for use in texturing, either using
  Zproject brush polypainting or with projection master as the texturing with photo reference tutorial.

• Rendering HD geometry for all subtools - this is a zscript for rendering all subtools with HD geometry
  if it's used. It makes it possible to use perspective for the render.

• clear offset plugin for zproject - this little plugin is for those who want to use the zproject brush for
  sculpting or polypainting but don't want their work offset.

• Mask2grp - This plugin allows you to create a polygroup from an area you mask with one click. Please note
  that this was written for z2 and been ok'd for z3....the other plugin listed has not been tested in z3 so don't
  download that one as it may not work and it may cause problems with z3.

Svengali

• Smartdiv - This was originally a zscript by Marsyas and svengali converted to a plugin. This plugin is a method
  of using the cage button to retain proportions of a low-poly mesh when subdividing so that your high poly mesh
  conforms much more closely to the shape of the original. Post #15 contains the z3 version.

• QuickSave - formerly know as psnap in Z2 this fantastic must have plugin allows you to save Documents, images or Ztools and now even movies!! Woo hoo...you rock Sven!!
  in incremental numbered versions so with a quick tap of a button you can save your work and if you don't like 
  where it's going...you have all previous versions to work with.

• axis - this plugin gives you a button set to quickly snap your model top, bottom, left, right, front and back.

mir-vadim

• creasedivide plugin - Mir-vadim created this plugin to keep a divided low poly mesh as sharp as possible.

Roland Kaiser

• xyz europe doc resizer - This plugin allows you to resize your document with a click of a button.

• xyz tool position - axis plugin - Like Svengali's axis plugin on steroids. Roland has not only included the
  usual cast of characters but 45 ,90 and 180 degree angle rotation buttons as well.

• xyz Fonts - xxl edition - allows you to use provided fonts to create text in zbrush.

• XYZ Quick Texture - Similar to Aurick's Power of 2 plugin for ZB2...allows you to quickly create a blank texture
  in a few predefined buttons.

Game Master 770

• 3dopacity plugin  - This plugin allows you to adjust the transparency of your current 3dtool in edit mode. Note
  that this method of transparency is limited to certain materials.

• flat_canvas plugin- this plugin is for use with projection master with shaded option enabled. It paints the flat color material to the entire canvas. This helps to remove the shaded seams you get when using shaded option with pm and
  allows for very complex textures to be baked.

• Make1mesh plugin - this plugin makes one polymesh2d tool from a tool with subtools. It uses the
  subd level of each subtool at the time of activation and groups each subtool so the newly created
  tool can be group slit into the same subtool configuration you had before.

• Recall_Info Plugin - is a general purpose plugin done for z2 but works in z3. This plugin stores
  tool information as datasets. each data set stores transform, alpha, material, texture information.
  you can use it to recall tool position, match the scale of another tool etc.

• Flip SubVis - Flips the Visible Status of All SubTools.
  The currently selected SubTool remains selected and shown, even if it's visible status is turned off.
  

ancomic

• XSymmetry Box Modeler for ZB3 - A nice plugin that puts all the tools you need to quickly box
  model anything you can imagine.

• Felt Collage Manager - A fun plugin ...name says it all.

• Color Changer - Again the name says it all.
