GoZ failing 2023.3

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

On top of the usage issues I have outlined in another thread (missing UVs in transfer) I find the following to be a very common occurrence.

Select “claws” mesh in Maya, click the GoZ button

// Warning: file: C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZBrushFromMaya.mel line 349: fopen: unable to open file “C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZProjects\Default|claws.ztn” for mode “w”.

The file is created and easily opened in a text editor - all it contains is a file path
C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZProjects\Default\Sculpt_6

Needless to say it’s not the right path, it’s pointing at the wrong model. Claws.ztl does not exist.

I open another Maya file paste the claws in there and click the GoZ button and the file imports to zBrush without any issue.

So what/where is the problem?

I also note that the default directory for storing GoZ transfers is up to 4gb. It would be great to have a way of flushing cache and as a potential solution for this problem connecting meshes to tools with a dialogue inside of Maya or zBrush.

Hello @magilla,

I don’t immediately experience any problems using Maya 2023.3 with ZBrush 2023. Please contact ZBrush Support for technical assistance with your ZBrush installation.

Thank you!

Thanks for the response Spyndel - yes I assume no one sees any issues immediately, but keep working with it for a couple of days and you’ll see what I mean.

I have experienced this across multiple workstation over many years with different versions. It’s not an installation issue.
