GoMax

Love the new settings in 2.0. Thanks to all involved! ! ! :wink:

I’m still having problems with ZB minimizing when I hit ZB-to-Max. :confused: I know its minor thing.

I think Patpotlood was extracting the mzp file and running the install.ms. It won’t work that way, simply drag and drop the mzp file to your 3dsMax window.

I need to minimize Zbrush otherwise it remains the ā€œactiveā€ window. :confused:

Running like a dream on 2011, windows 7 32 bit.

Thank you so much for this. I never knew about this until this morning and have been testing it out since I woke up a couple hours ago and it’s…well let’s just say that I’m thrilled right now. Especially as a learning student of 3dsmax, this is perfect for me right now to help learn.

Edit geometry in max, make repairs to zsphere generated topology quickly, then hop back in zbrush for sculpting, then back to max when I want a new edge loop or to make a hole in something…this is absolutely unreal. Thanks guys for all the work, this is fantastic.

it works now, :+1:

thnx so much

Do u mean drag in the mzp.run file? If so it did nothing. do I have to rename the extension to mzp? thanks for the reply

GG

mzp.run? nope!
Right click and save as on the ā€œDOWNLOADā€ link. It should be saved as a GoMax.mzp file. Drag and drop that file to the 3dsmax window.

It only saves as a zip file at least the download link from page 30. which only has mzp.run when extracted from zip file. should be be downloading from pg1?

thanks

(edit) my bad. I renamed the .zip to .mzp on save and it works :slight_smile: thx again

Doesn’t work for me. 3DS 2011 and ZB 3.5 R3, Windows XP. Gives me an error when exporting from ZB to 3DS. I’ve tried every option I got.

So it’s being saved as a zip file O_O thats strange. But yeah, the one on page 30 is the one.

I am extatic that people can actually of something that useful and actually make it happen … it’s somewhat magical to me …

Norman. THX!

2.0 is working great. There is one thing that is little annoying.
Whenever I change the settings of GoMax, new setting does not apply right away. New settings only applied when I close max and open it again.

Before 2.0, the settings in ZB palette was great. Whatever settings you changed, it applied right away without claose and reopeing ZB or MAX.

I’m using Max 2009 64bit / ZB 3.5R3 on Win 7 64bit with an administrator account.

Once again THANK YOU. I can’t work without GoMax any more.:slight_smile:

What settings are you referring to, exactly?

GoMax setting in Max.

You know Check box for diff, normal, subtool, fix scale etc.

That is strange, they should work as soon as you check or uncheck them!

Well, I’ll try reinstalling GoMax. Thx Norman.

Let me know if it keeps happening!

I just updated GoMax to v2.01. It’s a quick hotfix for the material problems some were having.
It’s also a great opportunity to see how well the auto updater works. For those who have installed 2.0, simply start 3dsMax again.
Those who haven’t download GoMax (See page 30)

GoMax should auto-update from 2.0 onwards.

I’m bad at explaining things … well … got a material import issue … it looks for some directx 9 shader thing and the script seems not to find it … and I can’t get the mental ray material and there’s no import export tab in ZB …

weird , it has working flwlessly for me from the beginning …

there’s an error message with the script about an ambient to diffuse thing … and the directX shader …

well if I assign a blank texture to my model in zb and assign UV it gets better … still got a can’t create max_bump error … and still no mental ray displacement …
