On further investigation yea you're right. Anything that uses the DLL doesn't work in the 64bit version. I'm shooting an email to some people at Pixologic to see if they are going to release an update for it. I will keep you guys posted!
First of all, the tools look very promising, I can't wait to get my hands on them.
Unfortunately they don't seem to work for me on R7 yet.
If I put the tools into my zplugs/zplugsx64 folder, ZBrush won't start anymore.
No message/error whatsoever, just the eternal spinning wheel of death.
Seems to work if I run it in the 32bit version first and then copy that over to the 64 bit. Thankfully as the grouping and visibility tools are amazing.
Ah I didn't copy NicksToolsdata over. The first page of this topic say I only had to move the zsc. Tools loads now and probably will work like a charm. Will test it right away!
Although I have found this plugin very useful in the past, nowadays I can't get it to work in current version zbrush.
The plugin especially batch rename doesn't work. I have the latest version put in zbrush 4R7/zplugs 64. My latest patch is P3.
- InflateB: Toggles between your current brush and the inflate brush at max size. This is used to inflate the whole subtool similar to the inflate in the deformation menu.
- Mat2Similar: Fills subtools your active material to all subtools with the same pointcount.
- CopySym2All: Copies the current subtool Symmetry settings to all visible subtools.
BPR Geo
- Dynamic All: Use the "On" or "Off" switches to toggle Dynamic SubDivision on or off for all visible subtools.
- ApplyDynamicAll: Commits the Dynamic SubDivision for all visible subtools.
- Array Mesh All: Use the "On" or "Off" switches to toggle Array Mesh on or off for all visible subtools.
- BPR2Geo All: Converts your BPR Geo to meshes for all visible subtools. Use the GoZ switch to automatically send those meshes to your Goz app.
Brush
- Brush Settings Toggle: Applies the toggled settings to most of your loaded brushes. A few brushes are skipped based on name. Those include: Mask, Trim, Transpose, Select, Slice, Groom, Zremesher, Zmodeler, Zproject, and Topology.
Make SubD Levels
- Make SubD Lvls: Will attempt to recreate subD levels using your current Zremesher settings.
- All Vis: Will recreate subD levels for all visible subtools. This may take a long time.
- AutoDetect: By default Make SubD Levels it will autodetect how many levels you need get back to your current pointcount.
- Projection: Enables projecting details back to the subdivided mesh. Increases run time.
- CapProjection: Enabled to increase speed and performance. Stops projection after a certain pointcount is met. Controlled by the ProjCap PCount slider.
- Relaxed: Applies the Zremesher process twice resulting in a more relaxed topology.
- Delete Source: Enabling will prompt you to delete a "PolyStar" temp object to get rid of the "Delete Confirmation" popup. After this your un-subdivided source mesh will be deleted after the Make SubD Lvls script is ran.
- SubD Levels: If autodetect is off then you can manually set how many SubD Levels you want per subtool.
Hey guys, its been awhile but I have made a few new random things and fixed some bugs. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions or ideas.
- Ctrl/Shift Toggle: Keeps Ctrl/Shift held down until the toggle is released. Used for long periods of smoothing or masking to avoid finger fatigue. Note: Unable to detect when in menus so you will need to manually turn it off when trying to use menu buttons.
- Convert Dash 2 Underscores: converts the first hyphen in all visible subtools to a underscore. Run multiple times if there are multiple hyphens in subtools.
I've upgraded to 4r8 and have been checking what is broken. It seems like anything that checks visibility of the subtool won't work properly. To fix some things I will need to wait Pixologic releases a new DLL.
BUT! The good news is that they added something to suppress popup dialogs!
@garriola83 not working and i cant find alternatives to some of the tools. i emailed him a year ago, but never heard back from him.
Hi @Pabs and @garriola83, i'm reinstalle this plugins on a fresh install (Zbrush 2020) and no problem or errors. Have you install it on the ZPlugs64 folders ?

I hope pixologic can fix this so I can use them.
Many thanks for the hard work you put into this!

Oh damned ; any tools are broken. I can look to make a random color snippet if you want.
