Some GoZBrush issues solution in ZBrush4

Well, in some cases, you might have some big problems like GoZ does not appear in Maya; GoZ does not success; GoZ will launch multiple instances of maya.


GoZ to Modo was automatic. Thanks Pixologic and Luxology!

GoZ to Maya was..., well it didn't work. Thanks Autodesk!
^ ^

I found a solution in ZBrushCentral to fix these issues. Thanks ZBC! ^ ^






Here is the solution:


1.
copy
C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya\shelf_GoZBrush.mel
into
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\maya\2011\prefs\shelves

(This is solved your GoZ shelf doesn't appear in your Maya shelf issue.)


2.
copy
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\scripts\startup\GoZScript.mel
into
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\maya\2011\scripts
Then add one line into your userSetup.mel(if it doesn't exist just create it.)*1
eval ("source \"C:/ProgramFiles/Autodesk/Maya2011/scripts/startup/GoZScript.mel\"");



3.
Open Maya, now you can see the GoZBrush shelf in your Maya shelf.

Open Shelf Editor, select GoZBrush then change to Edit Commands tab. Just add one more line below the first line*2:
source "C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZScript.mel" ;
(This is solved GoZ launching multiple instances of maya issue and Maya→ZBrush does not success issue.)


That's done!

Now you can enjoy GoZ. Happy ZBrushing!^ ^





*1:You can locate userSetup.mel into C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\maya\2011\scripts
*2:Remenber add ";" in the end of each command line :
source "C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZBrushFromMaya.mel" ;
source "C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZScript.mel" ;

  3. Sorry, I don't have win7...

    But the issue of GoZ launching multiple instances of maya is result from GoZScript.mel.

    You can try step3 again, and make sure that everything are doing correct.
