    Not sure but try going from zbrush to maya instead. Or just make sure your mesh is clean in maya.

    Thats the problem! I can't export from Zbrush to maya...maya starts, but no model inside :( ...but I can export from Maya to Zbrush without a problem..

    Hey Zach,

    Just a couple stabs in the dark, but if this is a recent problem, have you reinstalled or moved Maya or zbrush anytime recently? (ie moving them from the C drive or something like that?) If it is, maybe try reinstalling the program?

    Other than that, it looks like the main issue is you need to make sure you have Mayatomr plugin installed where the GoZ script knows where to look. Do you have the script installed (I read somewhere that it sometimes isn't)?

    Good luck, and hope this helps!

    You have Maya 2015 installed. Did you install it having Maya 2014 or any other Maya version ALREADY installed? You need to check your Maya.env file in the 2015 folder in MyDocuments. Installing a new version having one there already is a headache, I went through that recently and had to do some editing and I am not quite sure I got it perfectly but so far it works. In Windows/Settings/Preferences/Plugin Manager check the path Maya 2015 thinks the plugins are at. Is it using Maya 2014's instead of 2015's? Copy paste your Maya.env here so we can see it.

    Did you -in ZB- reinstall GoZ? If not, shut down Maya before you do so and try again.

    Good Luck!
  • Zack-StefyRO
    @Phil, nope, I haven't moved any Maya or Zbrush files ever :) How do I reinstall/install Mayatomr? Do I really need to install Mental Ray?!
    @dr grim,Yes , I have Maya 2015, and nope..just a clean install...there's nothing into that Maya.env file in Documents..also, nothing in the scripts folder! :(
  • Zack-StefyRO
    UPDATE: I've reinstalled Maya + Mental Ray..now it works..thanks ya'll for the answers and keep up the great work! :)

    For folks coming here looking for an answer to Goz -> Maya 2016. You have to install mentalray plugin not just satelite which is available here: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/downloads/caas/downloads/content/mental-ray-plugin-for-maya-2016.html

    And then also once maya 2016 is started check Windows > Settings / Prefs > Plugins and make sure Mayatoml is loaded + auto loaded then it works again.

    Kinda mad at myself for missing that haha.

    I haven't installed GoZ yet, but am I understanding this correctly? For GoZ to work in Maya 2016 you have to install Mental Ray too? W-why?

    Edit... Installing mental ray has solved all the little issues I still had with GOZ, my workaround was not that clean xD



    ""Another workaround if you don't want to install mentalray is to find this "Mayatomr" and quote corresponding lines

    //}
    //

    // GoZBrushToMaya requires Mental Ray plugin.
    //if (`pluginInfo -query -loaded -name "Mayatomr"`==0)
    //{
    // loadPlugin "Mayatomr" ;
    // //setCurrentRenderer mentalRay;
    //}

    You don't need Mental Ray. Just comment out the lines in the post above yours and it should work. You could also try submitting a ticket at https://support.pixologic.com to let them know its broken since Maya no longer has to install Mental Ray with it.

    Just install the maya 2016 mentalray plugin, don't forget to activate the plugin mayatomr.mll in windows/ setting-preferences / plugin. I don't know exactly why but it's needed but it works perfectly.

    Hi, I'm just gonna post my problem here. Does anybody know why is GOZ opening new maya scene everytime I want to import from Zbrush to Maya, instead of importing object into opened scene? I'm following some tutorial and the guy just presed GOZ button in zbrush and it imported object to opened maya scene.

    EDIT: Ok solved, so if anyone else encounters this problem, I just forced Goz reinstall in Zbrush under Preferences

    install mental ray Plugin for Maya 2016.

    https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/downloads/caas/downloads/content/mental-ray-plugin-for-maya-2016.html

    go to maya>windows>settings/preferences>preferences>Plug-in manager
    check on loaded and auto load.
    now both Maya 2016 to Zbrush and Zbrush to Maya 2016 works fine.

    Hey Guys,

    its as easy as this:
    go to the file:
    C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZBrushToMaya.mel

    and remove or comment out the lines 132-138:
    132  // // ------------------------------------------
    133  // // GoZBrushToMaya requires Mental Ray plugin.
    134  // if (`pluginInfo -query -loaded -name "Mayatomr"`==0)
    135  // {
    136  //   loadPlugin "Mayatomr" ;
    137  //   //setCurrentRenderer mentalRay;
    138  // }

    Save and try again... that's it.
    Turns out mental ray is not really needed!

    Cheers - have fun!

     thanks a lot for sharing the Mental ray fix,
     i have been trying to remove the "GoZ Maya Event Receiver Window" but no success anyone that wanted to do the same? and that accomplished it?.
     the code seams to be in GoZScript.mel file but if i delete it zbrush will start opening maya everytime Zbrush try's to send it to maya, i just find that i dont need that window there its annoying at some point :( i prefer to use a shelf button or marking menu.
