Thanks support

It seems that using GoZ from Zbrush and Maya is unwelding my uvās. Iāve imported an obj with uvās intact then used GoZ to export to Maya and the uvās are broken up. Iāve also tried it by GoZ into zbrush from maya and get the same result when I GoZ out. Is anyone else having this problem? Im on Maya 2008. If I goto export and Merge UV coords (MRG) they get back into Maya all together again, but this wonāt work with GoZ wich is a bummer. Is there a way to set this up to work for GoZ? Thanks!
Just starting with goZ and I had a quick question. How do you make all of your polygon elements in Maya jump over to Zbrush as separate subtools? I have a character that consists of torso,pants, head, etc., and Iām trying to get all of these elements over at the same scale. I tried sending them all at once, but it didnāt work. I tried combining the elements before porting over, but then they arenāt separate subtools in ZBrush. Can anyone provide me with some quick tips on the best workflow? Thanks.
goz is working awesome.but i get this error
āError reading data element number 1ā what does this mean?thanks!
Your answer to this was almost there.
If you have separate meshes like a head, torso, legs, shorts, and etc this is how you can use GoZ.
- Combine all of these meshes in Maya
- GoZ this mesh into ZBrush
- They will not be separate but if you open Polygroups and select Auto Groups. This will give each mesh that was separate in Maya itās own polygroup
- Now goto the Subtool Sub-Palette and click GrpSplit
Let me know if you have any questions.

When I try to start 3.2, I get the following message:
I have 3.12 and 3.12b installed, but theyāre in another folder with animation tools, not in the āApplicationsā folder.
Is there any way I can easily get this to work, without wasting time going through the install process again? Thanks -
My version of zBrush 3.2 suddenly seems to have missing links, which it did not have before (at least not 3.12B)ā¦I cannot access all helpfiles (it says it is missing something called ZSortstring in my ZData>ZPlugs). I cannot load other user configs or make them for that matterā¦ My GozModo401 connection was de-installed, which I use quite a lot (but not my connection to Cinema 4D oddly enough). I re-installed it and it is working again. But certain functions of tools like
And the zPlugs only work half for instance Transpose master (such as mirroring) ā¦I get an error message it is missing something, which I never had before. Sometimes my interface goes haywireā¦I cannot click on the items in the title barā¦ and also I lose my ztool totally even when I try to frame itā¦have to restart zBrush to get back to itā¦cannot clear the canvas and then redraw it.
Donāt know how to fix it
Youāre going to need to copy your 3.12 folder to the Applications directory. Version 3.2 needs it to be there. You should be able to leave 3.2 where it is, though.
Doulbe-click the ZBrush icon to launch it, then immediately hold Shift until the launch finishes. This disables your plugins. Does the issue go away? If so, then one of your plugins is to blame.
If the issue persists, the next question is what have you put in the ZStartup folders? Have you installed a lot of materials, alphas or textures? How many?
If neither of those apply, your installation may have become corrupted somehow. Youāll need to delete the 3.2 folder and reinstall.
Thanks - I moved the folder, renamed it (I deleted the āBā) and 3.2 started up no problem. I appreciate the help. The fix is simple, but I didnāt know ahead of time if I could just move the folder.
I should have downloaded the plugins such as Subtoolmaster etcetera for 3.2ā¦I was using those for 3.12ā¦ Now that has been fixed
Just to be safe and also considering that I do not have a host of textures and alphas in my Startup folder (but I do have my own Ztools in the Ztool folder) as I use the alpha/texture loader to access themā¦ I re-installed the zBrush 3.2 folderā¦ It still seems to be missing some scriptsā¦ But it seems to be working well (and well is great in zBrush)ā¦
Thank you for helping meā¦
When exporting an obj from ZBrush to Maya has anyone noticed a major scale issue? Why are the export options set to such wacky coordinates. It is not importing into Maya at the same size as the original Maya mesh, in fact its tiny compared to another copy of the Maya mesh.
I think got the scale value correct ( 521) but the xyz coords are still way off.
This is an image of the default export options in ZBrush.

Has anyone else experience this error in maya?
Hello, i have this problem: i loaded up a scene from zbrush 3.12b to 3.2. the scene is built out of multiple subtools. everything seemed to be fine.
after finishing the model in 3.2 i exported each subtool as individual obj files. The thing is that modo, maya and even zbrush canāt load the first and major object. the export of the other subtools works fine.
I already tried makepolymesh3d for the first subtool to delete the history.
The export in zbrush 3.12 worked fine for all the subtools. Unfortunately i canāt reload the new zbrush file in the older version.
Had someone the same issue or better a solution for that?
thanks a lot, john
Have you downloaded the subtoolmaster for 3.2? Maybe that would fix itā¦
I have a single tool that gives me this problem. When it attempts to load it into maya all the verts are at (0,0,0). In Zbrush the tool looks fine but I canāt export it at all! Not even obj.
Same problem. half my tools export properly through goZ, other half wonāt work in goZ and canāt even export an obj. tried .ma too. no luck. get file read errors in both maya and modo. this leaves the tool pretty much useless since i can ONLY use it zbrush, and of course itās my base meshā¦
Wait a second, are you guys looking under this:
tools, export, and look at the sliders for scale and offset (x, y, and z).
I think you have to check these sliders and set them all at scale 1, offsets at 0.
Also, I made a macro that, with one click, zips through everyone of my subtools and sets these sliders at scale 1, offsets at 0.
All of my ztools for the past three years are all screwy with these sliders, but are FINE in zbrush alone. When I use GoZ I think I have to set these sliders correctly on each subtool in a ztool, then GoZ works properly. Also, because I am doing this procedure, my transpose master works correctly.
(I may also set up a macro to resize all my subtools by X amount so they appear properly in the ātools -> previewā window pane.
Iāll definitely give that a try when I get home brandon. thanks for the tip. HOPE thatās the problemā¦
