Keyshot bridge broken in 4R8

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Just upgraded to 4R8p2 and now my Keyshot 5 bridge is broken.

When I choose Keyshot for rendering, ZBrush launches Keyshot, but doesn’t send anything to Keyshot. “Could not connect to renderer”. If I click render again, ZBrush launches another instance of Keyshot but still doesn’t send anything.

If I launch and have Keyshot running prior to sending from ZBrush, I get the same message, but a SECOND instance of Keyshot launches (which should NEVER happen on the Mac - the Mac normally prevents multiple instances of apps, and usually just switches to the one that is running). But ZBrush 4R8 keeps launching multiple instances of Keyshot.

4R7 worked fine. I’ve deactivated and re-activated the Keyshot license, did not fix the problem.

Any other Mac users having this problem?

Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan
ZBrush 4R8p2
Keyshot 5.3.6

#2

Quoted from one of Aurick’s recent posts:

“KeyShot 5 and above are supported. However, for KeyShot 5 you need to submit a Support ticket to get a special update to ZBrush 4R8 in order for it to work.”
