Such potential…yet such an utter failure.
I’ve tried everything I can think of. ZB4 has all the correct paths set to Maya 2011. I see the GoZ shelf in Maya. But when sending my mesh back OR forth, nothing shows up. Just an empty Polymesh in ZB4 and an empty screen in Maya. Unusable. No good in either direction.
I simply cannot believe this wasn’t more thoroughly tested. Unless there is a fix…ZB4 will collect dust.
All help VERY much appreciated.
I’m using Windows 7 64-bit & Maya 2011 64-bit
and GoZ is a dream come true. Are you on OSX?
No, same as you. Windows 7 64 bit, Maya 2011 64 bit.
VERY frustrating. Can you go over a sample workflow? Maybe I’m just an idiot…
Thanks.
One thing you might try is forcing a reinstall of all goz files. I had to do this as initially the goz icon in the goz shelf in maya didn’t show up.
So what I did was close any open windows of maya and then right click on zbrush 4 and chose run as administrator just to make sure that it had permissions to write any files it needed to. Once inside z4 go into the preferences menu and under the goz tab there should be a force reinstall button. Click that and then try sending a mesh to maya by pressing the goz button. Hopefully that should fix your problem.
Also, you should note that goz only transfers parts of the mesh that are visible. In my case I was testing on a figure in which I had hidden everything except for the head. This meant that in maya the head was off screen and the rest of it wasn’t there so it initially looked like nothing had transfered over, when in actuality it was simply off screen.
