GoZ not working with multiple app (except Modo 801 for some reason)!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello

I have ZB4r6. I updated my GoZ paths (through prefs) for Modo 801, Photoshop CC, 3D Max 2015, and Maya 2015. when I creat simple sphere mesh to test GoZ and click on GoZ button nothing happens. Only When I open Modo, and then click on GoZ button I do see the mesh appear in Modo. I can’t seem to transfer object to the other apps however.

I do see the GoZ shelf in Maya and the GoZ button in Max. Do I need to have each specific app open in order for GoZ to transfer the object? I tried that with Photoshop, Max and Maya, but nothing happens: no file appears in any app. It seems to only work with Modo 801 when I open Modo first.

Also, when I press GoZ button inside ZBrush, I don’t see a dialog box giving me the option to pick the app I want GoZ to send files to (given I have mutiple GoZ apps). I checked the paths in preferences and they seem to be pointing correctly.

I would appreciate your help. Thanks

You need to press “R” to reset Goz to the target application each time you want to change it. For instance, you would click “R” and choose Max and then Goz would send the geometry to Max. If you later wanted to Goz from ZBrush to Modo, you would need to press “R” and change the target from Max to Modo.
Also, Goz automatically opens the target application so you don’t need to have it already open.

And you should update to 4R6 P2.

Hi

I do have version 4R6 P2. ZB does not seem to open any app automatically…even with Modo, I have to first open Modo to send files to it from ZB (is there supposed to be a GoZ button in Modo, because I don’t see any).

Also, do I press “R” button as I click on GoZ button in ZB to reset application paths?

thanks

My ZB is a clean install on my computer. Never had to un-install an older version of ZB (as to loose GoZ), FYI. Doug you think I should re-install “GoZ” through the .exe file in the root ZB folder? I tried that but I get an error not letting me complete the installation: basically saying:

Error copying file from packed archive C:/Program Files (x86)/Pixologic/…/GoZ_for_ZBrush_Installer_WIN.exe to c:/Users/…/GoZBrushToModo.exe

You do have proper permissions? Have you reset the path with that R button?

#8

Sorry, that’s what is bit not clear: When do I press “R”? I press “R” and hold it down as I click on GoZ button? I tried that and it didn’t do anything except switch to rotate tool.

Incidentally anyone know if GoZ supposed to work with Max and Maya 2015 at all? or Modo 801 for that matter? I know stuff breaks with every version update in apps.

On positive note, ZApplink works with photoshop as I tried it.

Is it rough to use alternate methods to GoZ to transfer files between apps…worst case if I can’t get GoZ going?

I got it to work I think. I had to do force re-install again and make sure all paths are updated. I was able to send a simple mesh to each app just to test.

Thanks guys.
