Maya GoZ UV issue.

[Spicydevil]

Good catch ionblue!
My mistake! I wrote this too quickly, working with an existing .ma file goz linked... (stupid me)
So the code should be the one, as we want to unlock the file before delete and rewrite it if it already exists:

// Then exports it to a Maya file.  $maFileName = $GoZProjectPath + $gozName + ".ma";
if (`filetest -r $maFileName`)
  python ("import os, stat\nmaFile = '" + $maFileName + "'\nos.chmod(maFile, stat.S_IWRITE)");
sysFile -delete $maFileName;
file -f -op "v=0;" -typ "mayaAscii" -es $maFileName;
python ("import os, stat\nmaFile = '" + $maFileName + "'\nos.chmod(maFile, stat.S_IREAD)");

But maybe it's not necessary to unlock the file before deleting it... anyway that should be ok now.

Works great...........thanks

So the problem I seem to be having with the script now is when I send it from Maya to Zbrush, the file becomes read only. This causes the UV to keep, but when I try sending it Zbrush to Maya, because the file is still read only Zbrush thinks no changes have been made and then crashes.

Any ideas?

Atm I've no one-click workaround for this issue.
I'll post here if I find something when I've time to investigate...

Hey, I'm having the same problem but when I try the code fix I get a "Windows Error"

# Error: file: C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZBrushFromMaya.mel line 493: WindowsError: file  line 3: 3 #

Has nothing to do with scripts. Basically Zbrush hates outside the 0 to 1 UV space. If your model's Uvs are even near the outside borders of the space in maya it will fold the uvz in Zbrush using GoZ.


So in Maya


After you move the uvs in a little try GoZ and you will See (hey that rhythms).
