Remove stock brushes??

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello,

Title pretty self explanitory. Is there a way to remove the bundled brushes from Zbrush that I don’t want? Tired of looking at them and them eating up the shortcuts for useful brushes. “IMM Dragon Bones” is a prime example of one I’ll never use.

Cheers,

Sam

You can do this is you are very careful. There are some brushes you should not remove and don’t delete any brushes completely.

  1. In the ZBrush 4R7\ZBrushes folder create a new folder called Default. Move any brushes to this new folder so that they can be restored if necessary, or you can load them through Lightbox.
  2. To remove brushes use Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to navigate to the ZBrush 4R7\ZData\BrushPresets. Here you will find all the brush files.

Do not delete brushes that start with Transpose, or any brush that starts with Mask, Clip, Slice, Select, Smooth or Trim. And don’t delete any of the ZSketch brushes, the ZModeler.ZBP or ZRemesherGuides.ZBP.

If you find that ZBrush doesn’t behave as expected, make sure you restore the default brushes.

You’re welcome. I managed to miss Mask out of the list. Don’t remove those either!
