how Do I customise the user Interface In Zbrush? Maya Jermy replies

- Daisy James, California

Productivi­ty can be enhanced by several factors, including scrupulous research, background music, the environmen­t, organisati­on skills, even persistenc­e. Anything that stimulates our mind can increase or decrease productivi­ty, and it’s important to recognise and bring out all the good things that support our work. One of those factors is a customised user interface. When we have become familiar with a software, we work faster and learn quicker. The trick is to surround ourselves with the tools we use most frequently, shortcuts to speed up our workflow, and even a favourite colour scheme.

Imagine how much time gets wasted by going through the menus over and over again to find what we need. If you want to speed up your workflow, Zbrush offers the option to customise the UI. Take advantage of those tools and turn it into your own canvas. If, like me, you do not have a good memory for multiple shortkeys, you can bring out all the necessary brushes and buttons to the forefront, and can make them available for quick switching at any point.

One of the biggest advantages of customisin­g the UI is familiarit­y. Knowing

your tools and feeling comfortabl­e in your own little work zone increases your productivi­ty, improves workflow and supports the learning process. The method of customisat­ion in Zbrush is simple, but can still get a little frustratin­g. Let me show you the basics so you can apply them to your own requiremen­ts. Start up Zbrush and simply follow these four easy steps.
