GoB: an unofficial GoZ for Blender.

It doesn't seem to be working after I upgraded to OSX 10.8

Hi there,

First of all, I wanted to say that I'm so happy someone has the chops and goodwill to create this for blender users. I think it can be a very useful tool.

I have a small problem and I'm not sure how to solve it.

Blender will not allow me to enable this addon. I have things on the Zbrush size working well and it's set up. I -had- things on the Blender side actually working for a bit and managed to transfer a cube from zbrush to blender. I shut blender down.

The next time I opened Blender, the brush and blender icons were gone.

I opened up prefs>addons again. But from there, I could no longer enable the addon.

I googled why sometimes this happens and people say it's because the script may be out of date. But I know this is not the case as it was working just moments again and this is specifically the updated version for blender 2.63.

I'm at a loss for what steps to take now, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Barbara

Hi Barb,

was having the same problem.....but re-launched Blender 2.63, and now it let me tip/select the GoB addon.

Haven't tried using it yet, but looks like ZBrush 4R4 sees the Blender.exe and Blender enabled the addon.

Good luck.


Stunton,

thanks so much for this addon! Very appreciated!

ps- your English is fine, mon ami.

Well, now it's not working after re-launching Blender.

Need to take a break and clear my head.....too many hoops to jump though. Maybe it will become clear later.

At least should be able to do it the old fashioned way, i.e. export/import .obj.

No clients to please, no deadlines to make....just having fun.

Thanks for the suggestion! I restarted Blender and it seems to allow checking the box again. I restarted it again, and it seems to be sticking. Haven't tried passing files yet between Blender and Zbrush, since reactivating the script.

Thanks again for such a quick response. Sorry to hear, megacal, that yours went a bit funny again. Good luck.

Hello,
I'm back from holidays.

Well, there is some problems with GoB...

@ionblue: Can you explain what is do not working?
The addon inside Blender is working, have you the two top icons?

@b_massacre: When you stick the GOB addon, you need to press "Save As Default" button inside the "Blender User Preferences". But in ALL case if you have some trouble when sticking the GoB addon, Blender send an error message in the Blender console.
(on Windows, to show the Blender console, go to the help menu and select "Toggle System Console").

@megacal: Check the message inside the console (on Windows, to show the Blender console, go to the help menu and select "Toggle System Console").
If no message all is working fine

I installed it and I saw it in my plugins list but wasn't able to click the checkbox. But for some reason after a couple of days of not being able to enable it I was suddenly able to check it. So it works now but I have no idea why or what I did.

Hi, I'm having that same problem of being unable to enable the GoB plugin in Blender 2.63 with Zbrush 4R4 p2. I've reinstalled it but the problem persist. Here is what debug window says:

It seems that the script is unable to resolve the path to Zbrush.

Hello SpAik

I could install the script, but also received a script-error.
So, i decided to use the ordinary way.

good luck

[Stunton]

Hello,
thanks for posting a screen of the problem.

The script dont found the "C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZBrush/GoZ_Config.txt" file
This file is created by GoZ when you configure it inside ZBrush, you miss one step in the installation or sometime like that.
Check for this file on your hard drive.

Mmmm.. that file is there and I actually did the process like in you say. Now the curious thing is that I've checked again if the add-on was working and voilà! Now it works and I haven't done anything since the error.
