ZBrush Usage Questions

Hi, I am wondering is there a way to customize the quick menu window.

Found this web, but the video was private. :frowning:

Thanks.

That menu cannot be customized. You can, however, customize the space surrounding the canvas – both removing items that are already there or adding new items.

You can also build a custom palette from scratch and then assign a hotkey to that palette. If you use spacebar for the hotkey it will then bring up your custom palette instead. Right-click will still bring up the default menu, however.

Is it possible for you to tell me how to do the adding and removing items, also to change the space of the canvas. Thanks.

Some of the buttons have been moved (for example, Enable Customize is now found in Preferences >> Config) but this will get you started.

Also, if you prefer a video tutorial, see Paul Gaboury’s ZBrush Custom Menu. It was done in ZBrush 3.1 and, like aurick mentioned, some things have been moved around since then but you shouldn’t have much trouble finding them.

Now I have the problem with r5. My 2 custom menues are not loading to Zbrush (restore custom UI or Load UI are not help). It is loads my own interface, but 2 menues are broken ?! What I shall to do >>> ?

A little complement of information :

To get rid of the RMB quick menu and use some custom stuff/menu in place of it :

Disable : Preferences > Interface > Enable Right Click Popup

Then, if you have a Wacom, go to your Wacom driver settings and reassign your stylus button assigned to the right click and assign it to a unused keyboard key so you have it assigned to a custom palette you’ve made. If you’re using a mouse there are freewares like uberOptions ( for Logitech mouses ) that can do the trick, something else certainly exists for misc mouses. This way you’ve also got the 3rd button available for customization :wink:

Et voila :slight_smile:

Advertisement : You can also check my plugin, SizeAjustor, which is a good thing to assign to a stylus/mouse button too :wink:
If you like it, don’t hesitate to donate a lot of money :lol:

For Space Bar I really don’t know, as when you work with a stencil it is used to pop the coin controller. You can assign something to it but the quick menu still appear.
