Pixologic Release - ZApp Link (Windows & Mac)(Updated Rev2 for Mac on Oct 17th, 2005)

Hi Moochie, It looks like your directory structure is wrong. The .zsc needs to be in the ZPlugs/ folder (and not in ZAppLink/ where it is now). Similarly the ZAppLinkData folder needs to be in ZPlugs/ (and not in ZAppLink/ where you have it now). Looks like the extraneous ZAppLink/ folder got created when you extracted the zip.

I very big thankyou.

Thanks Antimorph. That resolved it. :smiley:

Very helpful plugin… Thank you!

The ripper.

awsome… thank you so much

At last!

Am not an animation individual, so most of the new items
are not a big item to me.
Before Zbrush, large user of Photoshop.
Thank you very much for the ease with which they can both
be used now.
Wll have plenty to spend the Winter with.
Much appreciated.
Edit: Thanked you, before using.
HOly S–t!!! Wow!!!
Will consider this my Christmas Present from Zbrush.
Again, many thanks for something that will be used a lot.

its not working well with me, what am I doing wrong?

I open zbrush, open my model. go to projection master and choose colors with fade on (double sided on for the side view) then hit zapplink. photoshop opens, I paint the image the way I want. hit save and go back to zbrush and it asks if I want to update, I hit ok. it shows fine in projection master but when I pick it back up it changes and the colors are all blocky and its wrapped around my whole model rather then in the front like it should. am I missing something? thanks for any help.

Without samples hard to say. Check texture size, UV mapping, model subdivision, display property smooth settings… Play with the settings and see what changes… You know… the IBM way… if you have a flat… keep changing tires and see if the problem moves with the change…

Thanks Pixologic! Especially from another MAC user!

I am having the same problem some others are having though. When I run Zapplink, it goes to preview instead of PS. I already had all files set with the .psd to open in PS. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Doesn’t work for me. I create a new texture, enter projection master>colour, open the zap link dialogue, choose an option and click OK, then I get an error saying “Error encountered while attempting to launch external editor”. I have both photoshop 7 and CS2 on my system but CS2 is set to open psd docs.
OsX 10.4.2, 6gb ram, G5 dual 2.7
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi, I have a problem,
When I hit the OK button in ZApp, I have the message :

“Error encountered while attemting to launch external editor”

I’m on Macintosh and I use Photoshop CS2.

Any ideas ? :cry:

When I use it, he cannot define the origin of the main program to open a psd file.

I try today to set up ! Wait for more

3dj, You may have other or “unknown Files” PSDs set to Preview. Those without Thumbnail … Try to Look for that!

Thanks, I think you may be right, but how do you go about finding an “unknown” file to change it?

Thanks!

1.-The PSD option in the ACDSee or similar program MUST BE disabled, to allow ZBrush take PSD with Photoshop.-
2.-Both ZAppLink and ZAppData MUST BE in the ZPLUGS folder, will not work IF only you have ONLY the ZappLink FOLDER containing both INSIDE.
3.-If you are working with Polymesh is better press first UV tiles before model and texturing process
4.-More division ALWAYS better results
5.-I made exercise beetwen ZBrush>Photoshop>DeepPaint3D and work very well.
6.-If you worek with parametric object ergo head model from Sphere3D your paint texture workflow is like a canvas snapshot more fluid.
Congratulations Pixologic Team

…absolutly kick ASS, Pixologic !

Just recieved my max8 package today, and i am embarrased about the minor changes they`ve done in such a major upgrade from 7.5 to 8.

Pixologic reall thinks about their updates ! !!! Great work, guys !

Absolutly outstanding !

Regards,

Thomas

3dj …
i guess when you see PSDs that have no Thumb, i just changed the Settings twice, and then finally it worked out fine. Guess you gotta search for the bad filetypes that open in Preview …

Yeah, I think I have found some. Some have the Preview icon on them, others may have an image icon, I have changed them and still no luck, restarted Zbrush as well.

You say you did it twice?
