How Do I Install Alpha Maps In Zbrush 2

[killamike718]

I looked all over the Z brush 2 Directory and found no place to place the alpha maps. im sorry im still trying to learn Zbrush and just wanted to know how to install them. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also im sorry but how do you install the Z mapper plugin for normal mapping? Do you place it in the Z scripts directory?

The technique I use for alphas installation: Make a "Alphas" folder somewhere on your computer. Preferably somewhere close to the desktop/root. Put your alphas there. In zbrush, under Alphas, Import your alpha from the folder you put it in.

ZMapper installation: ZMapper goes in the ZPlugs folder under ZStartup. In your ZBrush folder, under ZStarup, create a ZPlugs folder, so you would have C://folders/n/stuff/here/Pixologic/ZBrush2/ZStartup/Zplugs/ <-- put ZMapper files here. Make sure to keep the ZMapperData directory intact. Simply put it beneath ZStartup/ZPlugs just like you did with the ZMapper.zsc file.
