GoZbrush references from Maya

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello!

I could not find information about this issue on Internet, so maybe somebody here will help me.
We need to work with references in Maya and it would be great to have opportunity to work with cloned references from Maya in ZBrush.

I used this procedure

  1. Created Child file with base mesh
  2. Created reference from this child file in Parent file
  3. Copied references in parent file and tried to GoZ to Zbrush. ZBrush writes Error that there is no XZW information and does not open this object. I tried to delete history on reference in Maya and then send to ZBrush, and the same error happens in ZBrush.

My question is:

Can I GoZubrush reference from Maya and edit it in Zbrush, and then GoZ to Maya back, and to have the same reference relation in Maya.

I tried Max references to GoZbrush and back GoZ to Max, and it works. I also want to try this with Max ZRefs.

Thanks,

Tania

you should be able to paste a reference on an image plane. Perhaps I misunderstand the question. :o

I need reference from another file (child), so that I could change its copies in parent file. When i need to change form in base mesh in child file, these changes are transfered to the copied references in parent file (that are already deformed and skinned).
I mean this reference work flow
