How to Install ZBrush Matcap Materials

2. Copy all the .ZMT files from the extracted folder.
3. Go to your ZBrush installation directory. Usually found here:

   Windows: C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush [Version]\ZStartup\Materials

   Mac: Applications/Pixologic/ZBrush [Version]/ZStartup/Materials

4. Paste the .ZMT files into the Materials folder.
5. Restart ZBrush. The new materials will now appear in the Material Palette.

✅ Tip: For better organization, you can create a subfolder inside ZStartup/Materials and name it ” whatever you like” 

Or simply load in your material list but it doesn’t save MatCap this way
