Base user's setup for ZBrush
First of all we need to setup hotkeys which help not to jump between menus and submenus. As 95% of time you’ll be using only brushes I would recomend to setup hotkeys for them.
I’m using next hotkeys for brushes, for example:
- Keys between
1 and 9
for sculpt brushes Shift + 1-3
for smooth brushesCtrl + 1-9
for materials
You can use my config as reference. Copy text below, save it to file as hotkeys.txt
and import it in ZBrush by Preferences -> Hotkeys -> Load
. Store your config before cloase zbrush, as it will not save it automatically.
