Does anyone know why when I press GoZ there is nothing in Maya?
This is the error message I get in Maya 2016:
I ran both Zbrush ZR7 and Maya 2016 in Administrator
This is the path that I chose:
Does anyone know how to fix this?
running maya and zbrush as administrator will do nothing if you didn’t first INSTALL them both as adminstrator
note this is a hack because I am unsure how this would affect the other zb maya scripts down the line. so backup your files before this.
so if you can find the word “error” it says that maya is searching for mental ray but it doesnt exist hence it stopped sending the model over. as it makes connections to the shader for mental ray rendering.
what you can do is go to the mel script listed in the path with the error and open the script preferably with notepad++ which is free.
and around the line 113 you will see mental ray
and what you can do is
copy over that chunk with this
// ------------------------------------------
// GoZBrushToMaya requires Mental Ray plugin.
//if (pluginInfo -query -loaded -name "Mayatomr"==0)
//{
// loadPlugin “Mayatomr” ;
//setCurrentRenderer mentalRay;
//}
basically what I did was to comment it out so that it does’t run that part BUT I’m not sure how it will affect down the chain.
then save it and see if it works.
your model should be able to send into maya from zb.
laters!
