* Timers: Right now my script needs to have a timer to count down the minutes. Google thinks this is a really old problem that no one has had since the turn of the century so I don’t know where to go with this. A is still waiting for B to finish before it can start over) or if I’m just doing something wrong with the code. I don’t know if it’s a recursion problem from somehow being unable to call a function until it has ended entirely (A finishes and calls B. If I exit the entire script, then hit a resume button, the script begin to function again without problem but if I get to the end of a cycle and try to jump back to the top and reset my variables, the routineCall fails. * “The number of inputs exceeds the number of inputs defined by the target routine”: I seem to have made some fundamental mistake in my coding because I get this whenever I attempt to call any of my routines for a second time. The Questions! (in order of importance to me right now) I describe each timed sculpt as a cycle and each set of cycles a session. This way I can amass many smaller studies and improve myself in much more meaningful ways. I have trouble starting quick sculpts because I know I will take forever and I have trouble stopping them because I enjoy them so much once I begin. The goal is to make this process impersonal, so that I don’t have to be the one to decide that time’s up (because I can’t!). I don’t know if zbrush can handle it but eventually that might include putting ‘used’ files in a separate bin to keep things fresh. These would be organized in personal folders set up and maintained by the user. Ideally I would go so far as to make themed folders so that I might choose to do a set of anatomy themed cycles or a set of animal themed or alien themed or mechanical themed cycles.

This will help me be more decisive about designing on the fly, rather than blanking and staring at the screen trying to figure out what to do.

It allows you to include tags and it includes the time spent on each sculpt in the filename so that, if I want to go back, I can look through my filename tags (ratings, for example) and find sculpts I’m interested in continuing.Īfter accomplishing this basic helper, I intend to add a reference system so that, for each quick sculpt, a set of words or a picture is shown as inspiration. In addition, it prompts for and quickly saves to a directory you’ve chosen before you’ve begun (an outbox for quick sketches). My script allows me to set up a timed practice sculpt which can be repeated as many times as I specify so that I might get through a dozen 5 minute sculpts or six ten minute sculpts, for example.

To start, I will post the questions with as little need for context as possible along with a basic idea of what I’m coding, then I’ll post my code for anyone who might want to go the extra mile in helping me. Ok, so I have several scripting questions that would be much easier to solve by asking than by googling. I am content just being pointed in the right direction if it’s what you can offer.
