Advanced Member SonK Posted June 7, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have about 97 custom pens and i wonder if Andrew can implement a way to add all of them at one time. Currently you have to add them one at a time and it takes long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted June 8, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Have you tried "Add existing folder"? Just put all your custom pens in a folder, and then use this command to select that folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member SonK Posted June 9, 2009 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 maybe i'm using it wrong but i select one file and it only added 6 pens, leaving 90 still not added. I'm running 3.00.06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running 3.00.06 The 6 pens is the preset of 3DC. If no pens added, I'm afraid the layer structure of your 97 pens is not accord with 3DC's standard: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no pens added, I'm afraid the layer structure of your 97 pens is not accord with 3DC's standard: the 6 pens are not preset AFAIK they are from my stamp folder(which arent included with 3DC)..but maybe you are right about the structure of the remaining pens. I'll just have to add them the manual way, one by one :|. it would just nice if i could select multiple pens like in Mudbox 2009 and add them all at once. All of my custom pens are just a single black/white image save as a png. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member wailingmonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 just a shot in the dark, but maybe try doing a batch on some to a different format (.tif .bmp .tga ?) and see if they are able to import via a pre-existing folder with the different format.....might save you a bit of time, if so.

All of my custom pens are just a single black/white image save as a png. I've recorded an action to convert the png to 3dc-ready psd, just batch running it on all of your pngs and everything will be done. (dialog will pop up when saving files) Hope this helps. akira. 3dc_action.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
