    You can not add a scene and shadows at this point. All of that would have to be done at the beginning prior to this step.

    When I export a mesh from Zbrush to Maya using GoZ, the orientation of my mesh changes 90 degrees on X axis. Is there a way to fix it? Not by changing every mesh every time manually, but by fixing GoZ? Thank you!

  • @davidbittorf
    @davidbittorf9 күн бұрын

    Yes, however you need to change your Maya settings, not GoZ. In Maya go to Windows --> Settings/Preference --> Settings: UpAxis Y. If that doesn't work try UpAxis as Z

I am trying to repeat your moves in this tutorial and I cannot help but notice that when my version of DemoSoldier goes to Maya, it appears to have a different scale.

    Hmmm. I should automatically convert it to what it needs. I've seen it not work before but never saying an unrecognized file type. Personally GOz has always worked just fine for me, however, I would say about 50% of the time it does not work for others. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. When that happens, I won't fight it, instead I just export the old fashion way.

    this is useless in the case you have a partner using a newer version of Zbrush, you have a older version, you gave him the subtool created from GoZ in Character Creator 4, and lets say, you want him to create the shape of the face, then back to me with the face edited so i can take back to character creator 4 through GoZ again, what is gonna happen in this method, is that, once you click GoZ, its gonna create a creepy and horrible looking character morph, like a extreme mutations in character's arms and body, in simple words, its gonna BREAK the character. So, in simple words: I better get another coworker that DO HAVE my same Zbrush version.
