Smooth Group Import - a plugin for ZBrush 3.1


INSTALLATION

The zip contains:

SmoothGroupImport.zsc - the plugin file
SmoothGroupImportData - a folder which contains:
	ZFileUtils.dll - the dll file

SmoothGroupImport_readme.txt - the readme file


Unzip the zip file to your ZBrush3\ZStartup\ZPlugs folder so that the structure is like this:

ZBrush3
	|--ZStartup
			|--ZPlugs
				   SmoothGroupImport.zsc
					|--SmoothGroupImportData
						 	 ZFileUtils.dll



Restart ZBrush. You should now have an Import & Crease button in the Tool palette (below the Import button).


INSTRUCTIONS

Press the button and select an OBJ file from disk. You will have the option of importing into a mesh in Edit mode if you wish. The file will be imported and if there are smoothing groups defined the borders of each group will be creased.

To uncrease the smoothing groups after subdividing to the required level, SHIFT+click the Tool:Geometry:UnCrease button.
