Getting started

Set up RadialZ in 3 steps

The short version to get you running. Each step has a full video walkthrough further down if you want the detail.

1 Plugin installed, green status

Check it is installed

Open RadialZ and look for the green status indicator. If the plugin is not visible in ZBrush, restart ZBrush once and it will load itself.

2 Setting the hotkey

Set your hotkey

This is the one to get right. We recommend F8. Set it in RadialZ, then set the exact same key in ZBrush for Load Brush. Then in ZBrush go to Preferences, Hotkeys, Store so it sticks after a restart.

3 Sync library

Sync your library

Sync to pull your brushes into RadialZ. That is all it takes to get going.

Using custom brush folders? See Syncing library from a custom folder.
That is it, you are ready. Hit Add to create your first menu. For a full walkthrough, see Setting up your first RadialZ menu.

Troubleshooting

If something is not working

The quick answers to the things that trip people up most. For the common ones there is a fix video in the guides above.

⚠ Known issue

Pen pressure on the first stroke. After picking a brush with RadialZ, the very first pen stroke may not register full pressure. The stroke after it behaves normally, and a mouse is unaffected. This sits in the Windows pen input pipeline and is being worked on for an upcoming update. It does not affect the brush itself, only that first stroke's pressure.
