Startup Document
From ZBrush Info
While the configuration files store many settings, there are many others that are not saved. These additional settings are all an integral part of your document (such as the background color or lighting setups). All document-related settings can be saved as part of a startup document. This document will be loaded every time ZBrush launches.
- To create a startup document, click Document:Save As
- Navigate to the ZBrush\Zstartup folder
Aside
Since ZScripts rely on many of these settings, automatic ZScript recording is turned off if you use a startup document. You will need to manually begin recording if you wish to record your session. Bear in mind that unless you initialize ZBrush before beginning recording, you would also need to distribute your startup document if you wish to share the ZScript with any other users.

- Save the file as in the ZStartup folder as StartupDocument.zbr
ANY document can be saved as your startup; even one where you have already begun painting on the canvas. Settings that will be recalled by the startup document include:
- Canvas size
- Background color and Border color
- Layers
- Lighting
- Render settings
- Custom materials that are painted on the canvas
