GoZ opens new instance of Maya

[23rakesh2015]

when I send object from maya to Zbrush it works fine but when I send from Zbrush to maya  it opens a new instance of maya everytime why?

After you install goz from zbrush close it.

copy GoZBrushFromMaya.mel to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\plug-ins

From C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya

also Copy userSetup.mel to C:\Users\username\Documents\maya\2018\scripts

from C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya

NO, Sir, it's not working , I did like as said step by step (copying .mel files to main plug-ins folder, & the usersetup.mel to Ducuments script folder , & I made sure to open maya & activate the plugin from plugin manager,,, still doesn't work, each time it openes new instance of Maya each time, & the ((GOZ update)) button in maya doesn't send/update anything at all :S

I use Maya 2018.3 & ZBrush 2018.1 .. I am using another custom script called Styx OBJ Import Export & it works , till Pixologic fix their issues.

Thanks.

This worked for me.

I just copied userSetup.mel, because the plug-in was already connected.

Noo need to copy and paste anything from anywhere just duplicate the goz maya shelf button and change the command from 'gozfrommaya' to 'goztomaya'

Well, the trick is this...As the solution says copy paste the userSetup.mel file from C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya to C:\Users\username\Documents\maya\2018\scripts.

But, if you have already a userSetup.mel file with other information and mel scripts in it, just keep it at C:\Users\username\Documents\maya\scripts.

ONLY IF the userSetup.mel in maya/2018/scipts includes only the Zbrush command and nothing else, GOZ works perfectly (at least, for me 🙂 ). Good luck

I had encountered the same problem when updating Zbrush this week. I already had a existing userSetup.mel file, so I added the below line from the Pixologic userSetup.mel file found in the goZ folder referenced above. My userSetup.mel file is located at C:\Users\<your name or whatever>\Documents\maya\2020\scripts so I cant speak to the various other places that userSetup file may show up! 

eval("source \"C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZScript.mel\"");

Works perfectly for me now!
