Weirdness with GoZ and Maya

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,

I’m having some mixed results with GoZ. Sometimes it works great and sometimes all I get in Maya is a green see-thru cage, no texture, no anything. Here is my workflow:

  1. fill object with color

  2. paint on mesh

  3. lower res

  4. make GUV

  5. increase res

  6. new texture from Polypaint

  7. lower res

  8. create normal and/or displacement map

  9. Press goZ

I find the problem strange because I’ve gotten GoZ to work plenty of times. I just don’t seem to be able to troubleshoot why this happens on occasion. Any help would be appreciated.

When a mesh is giving you this issue check your Export Scale and Offsets. If this says nan that is your issue. The mesh does not have a scale or offset numbers anymore. they got lost during a GoZ session some how. You just have to put your scale and offset values in and you should be fine. :slight_smile:

Let me know if this solves it. What version of Maya are you using?

Thanks:) Can you tell me where to set those settings you mentioned? Oh, I’m using Maya 2008 on Mac. Take care:)

I believe the reason for your Geometry showing up in Maya without shading network is the length of the name of your ZBrush (Sub)Tool

try to give it a short name - I think in the process of GoZ Maya is not able to handle long names (more than 15 digits?)

give it a try,
