This video will show you how to load the ZBrush Config and Hotkeys. This video was created for version 4r8 but the installation is identical for 2018.
The config and hotkeys work well with ZBrush 2018 which is the upgrade from version 4r8.
If you are using version 4r8, please make sure you have ZBrush 4r8 installed with the Patch 2 upgrade . The Patch 2 update fixes many bugs and unfortunately makes our UI crash in earlier versions due to backward compatibility reasons.

VIDEO NOTES
This video shows how to install the Custom UI and Custom Hotkeys.
The Custom UI adds extra buttons to the window and gives two new menus which you’ll see docked to the left side panel. ZBrush is a relatively simple 3d program but it’s various buttons, and cumbersome interface can make it seem much more complicated. So the C3dC Custom UI takes the necessary buttons and places them in one easy to use location.
The Custom Hotkeys add extra hotkeys to those buttons that may be missing shortcuts. To find the hotkey of a button, hover over it with your mouse and the tooltip will let you know if one exists.
To see the default location of a button hold Ctrl while hovering over it. The tooltip will show the menu path in dark gray at the bottom of the description.
You can find the appropriate hotkeys notated at the bottom of each video. Both the default and C3dC hotkeys will be included.

Yes sorry about the delay in the reply my Gmail inbox has been hiding these messages.
Yes our focus has been on Zoo2 and it’s been way behind, but we are getting on top of it now. I’ll see if I can upgrade for 2019 and 2020 along with a hotkey list.
Thank you the video helped a bunch!
