CAMERAS
This plugin creates an independent visual system of 9 cameras that are used for modeling.
- 9 cameras for help you in modeling, that are independent from your scene's cameras and don't override them.
- Visual selector of 9 cameras that can be chosen clicking on their thumbnails.
- Quick button for saving a camera.
- Load a camera entering its number or by clicking their thumbnails in the selector.
- Delete all defined cameras.
- Cameras are remembered between ZBrush sessions, and are only forgotten if you delete or override them with new cameras.
- Buttons for chosing flat cameras: top, bottom, left, right, front, and back.
LIGHTS
Put lights with your mouse, memorize and restore them as you need.
- Button for setting the Interactive Light that also memorizes the position of the light before you move it.
- Memorize button for saving the position of the current light, so you can restore it or copy it to another light.
- Restore button that applies the memorized position to the current light, so you can undo what you don't like.
- Dial for setting light intensity, and a button that restores the intensity to 0.85.
SAVE RENDER

- Buttons for setting the format of your save, so you can quickly export in several formats.
- Switch for choosing if you export the mask or not automatically.
- Save a Best or Preview render with the settings chosen on one click.

TURNTABLE MAKER
Get a good turntable easier and faster.
