Goz for blender 2.8

aghandwork · April 22, 2019, 10:25am

I have found all mesh that I have Export to Zbrush from Blender in that my folder - C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZProjects/Default - here Suzanne.GoZ and Suzanne.ZTL… so it is sending to Zbrush and this mesh is exist but not opening automaticly in Zbrush

My folder where is installed Zbrush is - D:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 2019

P.S. But my Zbrush 2018.1 is too installed in - D:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 2018 … and it is works

kromar · April 22, 2019, 10:49am

@aghandwork whne you say its not opened automaticly in zbrush. do you already have a tool open in zbrush?
i noticed that if i just push something to zbrush i first need to draw it out and enter edit mode in zbrush to be able to send more tools over. is this what you describe? i will need to install zbrush 2018 again to test this.

aghandwork · April 22, 2019, 11:55am

I was try in different way…result the same

kromar · April 22, 2019, 2:51pm

maybe something changed in the zbrush version, i doubt it has anything to do with the addon. lets see if i get the same on zbrush 2018

In any case - thank you for your attention to that problem!

Got a new bug here on version 2.8 - Hash 1fa527bfa3a downloaded on 2018-12-05.

Happens when I have a mesh trying to GoZ from Zbrush to Blender:

hi @fusobotic as far as i can tell that error happens when the GoZ path of zbrush is not found, have you
put the ‘Blender’ folder directly inside the GoZApps folder at this path?

Windows: C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps
Macintosh: /Users/Shared/Pixologic/GoZApps
Please let me know if that solves your issue, i thought about instead of getting a error you would get asked if the folder should be “copied” to the needed location but i need to know if the issue is solved when the folder is there.

Otherwise it might be that you need to configure the path to blender first in zbrush GoZ and then restart Zbrush for it to work, i remember its a bit tedious to get it to work for the first time.

Hi there. Just got today’s build 16 May 19 and now I get a blender error when trying to send something back into Zbrush (19 current).

Updated addon. Removed old through blender etc. Same problem, different line faults. Going into blender okay, return trip, blender error.

Works, when I tick, ignore modifiers. Cheers.

JoseConseco · May 17, 2019, 10:22am

Fixed in : https://github.com/JoseConseco/GoB/releases/tag/b28_v3.0.4

GogoDisco · May 22, 2019, 8:55am

Win10 64b

My Blender 2.80 = May 16th build. My Zbrush is 4R8 P2.

I got GoB 2.0.1 to work, after failing to get GoB 3.0.4 to show up inside Blender Addon user pref installation.

I also made sure there aren’t previous/orphaned GoB files littering blah-name\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons folder.

My steps (for new Zbrusher arrivals):

I’ve pointed ZBrush to my latest Blender.exe
unzip the downloaded GoB file
as instructed, copy the Blender folder into C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZapps (delete the previous Blender folder)
not as instructed, instead of installing from the GoB-version.py file, I installed from the downloaded ZIP file
finally the two precious GoB buttons appeared next to workplaces menu! Saved preference!
then I launched ZBrush, in Edit
then I exported a Blender cube to ZBrush, and ZBrush received it
then I subD, del lower, GoZ a higher res mesh to Blender
press GoB import button, voila!

So far so good…

Thanks Conseco!

GogoDisco · May 23, 2019, 9:17am

Just to confirm, GoB 2.0.1 also works with the latest May23 version of Blender 2.80.0-git.02a7e57d9c07-windows64. There is only one minor issue.

My steps (for Conseco to troubleshoot):

I first cleared Pref>GoZ cache, pointed Zbrush to the latest Blender
With new Blender opened, I GoZ Demohead to Blender
I can’t export/ GoB altered Demohead back to ZBrush. Error message.
(users may skip to next step) I then removed GoB, reinstalled addon a few rounds. Error message persisted.
I changed GoB’s addon modifier preference from the default ‘Only Export’ to ‘Ignore’. Voila, GoB GoZ work happily again.

So it turned out, ‘Export and Apply’ also produced the same error message. See screen grab.

JoseConseco · May 23, 2019, 1:37pm

U have old version. Grab new from: https://github.com/JoseConseco/GoB/releases
Or there is addon updater in preferences now (but since you have old addon, then you may not have the auto-updater yet).

GogoDisco · May 24, 2019, 2:20am

I tried your latest release GoB 3.0.4 first, but somehow couldn’t get it to install or show up in user preference.

I tried installing from unzipped 3.0.4 GoB.py, its ini py, then the unzipped folder, then the entire zip, copy paste the unzipped to a new folder, or directly from unzipped folder. I also made sure whatever failed install files in Appdata/…/script/addon folder are deleted before attempting more installs. Still I couldn’t get 3.0.4 to show up in either May16 or May23 2.80 release.

I finally tried the 2.0.1 version (which you linked in the top post of this thread), and that one worked if installed from zip.

My system
Win10 Pro 64b
Zbrush 4R8 P2

aghandwork · May 24, 2019, 9:17am

I had the same problem at first… But when I delete all previous GoB, unzip 3.0.4 GoB folder and paste it all to - Appdata/…/script/addon folder … everything works perfectly!

fusobotic · May 24, 2019, 2:53pm

I think there’s something up with having dashes, periods or numbers in an addon folder’s file name? The addon only shows up in my preferences when I rename its folder from “GoB-3.0.4” to just “GoB”

That’s with today’s build of blender 2.8 (hash 1fa527bfa3a).

Just to clarify @kromar I did put the folder included with GoB there, I even deleted the old and everything. Plus I gave Zbrush the path in goz preferences. Still gives me the same errors:

kromar · May 25, 2019, 9:03am

yes the dots in the tag break the addon since blender thinks its a file extension… we fixed this some time ago but i think due to the tag updates we reintroduced the issue.
thanks for reporting that.

as for the other issues, i think its because there have been a lot of ui/api changes lately in blender 2.8 and im not sure we updated to the latest changes yet. it should be fixed soon.

GogoDisco · May 27, 2019, 5:35am

Thanks. I will try your method when I install another latest build.

JoseConseco · May 27, 2019, 10:40am

This addon should work with latest blender + latest release from github: https://github.com/JoseConseco/GoB/releases
The problem is github automatically adds release tag strign to folder name. So instead of having folder named:
‘Gob’
The github zip has: ‘GoB_v3.x.x’ or something like that. Just try renaming it guys to ‘GoB’ in your:

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons

I tested it with latest zbrush 2019.1, latest blender daily build ang GoB 2.0.4

Autoupdater will be probably removed, since it is 3x as big as the addon itself, and gives problems.
