Then I loaded my project and ran zlayemanager from within zbrush and it opened.Power Shapes is a ZBrush plugin that adds a palette with 51 shapes to ZBrush, and some useful functions to help you in low poly. Started zbrush and it started right away like normal.

This time around, I did not run the exe first because I figured that defender would allow it since I already told it to. Then I deleted the rest before running zbrush again and loading my project. I could not find any processes or services that could be using it. I could not delete it because it kept saying that it was in use in zbrush. I close zbrush and tried deleting everything to test if I could open my project after removing zlayermanager. Then it all locked up when trying to open my project.Īfter that. I opened zbrush and it took several minutes to open. The only difference in what I did that I can think of is this.īefore starting zbrush the first time around, I opened the exe to make sure that it would get through defender. I have no idea what the difference was between what I did before and now but, IT WORKED! Hold off on thinking about anything more. it looks like a good plugin and any help in working with layers seems to be needed.

I have attached the screenshot of the error note. I was hoping that it would be similar as long as it opened. I use xmd to store my brushes and it can be opened at any time and still load the brushes into zbrush once open. I can open the interface outside of zbrush but, it does not hook into the program at all when doing it that way. I am not familiar with the method used to code these plugins and thought that subm,itting this issue might at least make you aware that it is not functioning in the newer ones. I tried looking through the txt files in the folders and could not find any with upwards of 351 lines in which there could be an error. I was hoping it would work with the newer ones anyway. I know that the instructions stated that this is for 2018. I am not sure if you can do anything to fix this or not. When pressing the button to enable the interface, this error shows up. I am currently running zbrush 2021.5 and after allowing both exe files to execute and verifying that the interface shows up. I ran across this plugin and wanted to try it out.
