Jesus Christ! Thank you Jester for this support!!!
The XSi community is little and guys like you, man!, make such a big difference for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I dont know how to express my gratitude to you in english!

Pixologic let us down! Please keep it up Jester!

[pimeto]

I have a question. Is it possible to make it export all the visible subtools to XSI ?

It all works fine here! I got little confused from the installation descriptions that you guys posted here, but i sorted it out
Thanks again!

[Jester]

Thanks Pimeto!

Actually as I stated earlier it's just a placeholder until the real GoZ is developed for Softimage, but I'll check if I can do this functionality. Actually possible, but I don't dare to promise anything yet.

[pimeto]

No problem man! Dont worry! We appreciate you doing THIS!!!
About GO for Softimage, i really have my doubts that they are going to make it at all
People are telling me that Autodesk is planing to shut down Softimage... maybe this explains the lack of MentalRay development... I am affraid!
The only program that Pixologic didnt release GOz is Softimage... wtf ?

xsi gozbrush forever

Autodesk DOESN'T plan to shut down Softimage, the newest release has just released (Subscription pack) with stereo cam, Lagoa, artist friendly ICE, etc.

Pixologic has no Softimage expert, that's why they didn't made the GoZ.

thank you very much Jester. It will be the only thing to use for us poor SI users for quite a while. I think GoZ for XSI will not come until next Sig, if at all. At least when extrapolating from previous experience with Pix.

Works well, thanks Jester.

Maybe Pixo should get intouch with you and get the official version complete! You rock! Thanks again

I Jester,

I'm Steve Jubinville, character Artist and Certified Zbrush Instructor.
Thank's a lot you your XSI Addon, working really well!
After couple of try, I see couple of mistake in your installation explanation.
I re-write the exemple in english and French!I hope your are ok with that!

I don't know what you thing about that but is maybe the time to links you with Xavier Durant, the guy who create GoZ. He will help you to integrate GoZ XSI in Zbrush and help you to eliminate the import/Export. It was betther if is doing automaticly. So if you're interesting send me your email adress and I will make you in contact with him!

Thank's Again!

Thanks Steve, great compilation! Actually it worked very well here at my workplace, but I thuink the majority of problem is because of the double naming I used in my rush

Thanks again!
