I got zbrush 2020, and cc3 pipeline but in zbrush I have no option to link goz with cc3, and all my goz buttons are greyed out in both programs. How do I get these two too see eachother? I go into preferences in zbrush and update, but it just asked for certain programs and there is no cc3 option. and in cc3 I cant find anything about linking to zbrush, just the greyed out option in the export menu and the greyed out button on the tool bar. Any help is greatly appreciated here guys, this is awefully expensive to not be able to use them together lol.

Hi.
I'm not 100% sure how i did it the first time but i have a vague idea that i just pushed the GoZ button in CC3

But it can also be that i went into preferences ->  GoZ  when CC3 was running and ran this "Update all paths" so ZB wen't through all possible targets...But i'm not 100% which way it happened..it was dead easy anyway.




You also need to load a character that is not "Game ready". If you acciidentally have choosen that character in CC3 the GoZ button is greyed out.. all other characters work
Also remember to go into the Preferences -> Draw and change the maximum brush size to 5000 as the CC3 character is real world measurement so it's darn big.. Set the Dynamic brush scale to around 10  while you are in this menu

This function is so fast it's ridiiculous

Good luck..

I have the GoZ button grayed out If I run Zbrush as admin with CC3 not running and click on path C:\Program Files\Reallusion\Character Creator 3\Bin64\ it attempts to install but then says it hit an error and that I should run Zbrush as an admin (which I already am) not sure why its not working so any help would be appreciated.

I just did a check and running GoZ works perfectly fine here.. even when CC3 is not running.. pressins the GoZ then starts CC3 and tries to import whatever i'm sending

..but i see your path isn't complete.. it should say C:\Program Files\Reallusion\Character Creator 3\Bin64\CharacterCreator.EXE .. that's probably why it want's to reinstall.
Run CC3 before starting ZB then go into preferences-> GoZ and run the update paths and it will most surely fix the issue

Good morning.
What's that video stormr? I have a similar problem.
Could it be a problem with the latest version of zbrush?

GoZ no longer works for me either. One computer is grayed out and Zbrush doesn't look for CC and on my other computer CC acts like it's going to work but then says can't find the path. If anyone figures out how to fix Goz then please post as will I if I figure it out. I tried a bunch of obvious stuff like opening as admin, reinstalling Goz, programs off, programs on, etc. Now I'll get on with my life without it for now I suppose.

I just purchased Character Creator 3 Pipeline mostly for the GoZ functionality,and it won't work.  Character Creator will send the model to Zbrush, but Zbrush gives me an error message when I try to install the path to CC3, so I can't send it back.  I ran Zbrush as an administrator, but I get the same error.  I tried uninstalling and re-insalling both Zbrush and CC3, but same issue.  I really don't want to have to ask for my money back so if anyone knows the solution I would greatly appreciate it.  I will email pixologic as well, in case the problem is on their end.  Without GoZ, cc3 is useless to me, unfortunately.

Ok, well I figured it out and the fix for this is really dumb.  Instead of installing the path under preferences in Zbrush, you just press GoZ and it magically works.  Go figure.  If you try to install it again under preferences, you get the error message again.  So just press GoZ and it works again!

Oddly enough after 3 months of working perfectly... Also working in ZBrush2020 - sadly it stopped today (so I did get it to work to begin with).

I researched deleting an earlier version of ZB and everywhere I read it said as long as you have the a newer version - everything should work out OK. Zbrush2020 works perfectly - I deleted an earlier 4R7 version I still had up there taking almost 2 gig of info. 

However it broke the GoZ pipeline between CC3 and ZBrush2020 (nothing to even do with 4R7 - what I deleted). It even asked me if I wanted to delete GoZ and I said NO - since that concerned me. Since then - running as Admin, Clearing cache, Force reinstalling - NOTHING is working. Starting one program first before another and vice versa - still the same. I get errors on ZBrush's side - whether I click on GoZ or ALL. Get errors on CC3's side - asking me to still confirm my ZB subscription - funny enough, if I have CC3 on when I do this... ZB acknowledges it's running and asks me to shut it down - so it recognizes, just no longer recognizes the pipeline. I've tried everything so far with no advancement - I have a ticket in with support. Why would CC3 look for GoZ in 4R7 VS ZB2020 (especially when it launches me only into ZB2020). Anyway GoZ was one of my of my main reasons to purchase the pipeline - which was a huge investment at a tricky time. I'm concerned when I hear many say - oh I just learned to import it through... and ignore GoZ - that doesn't seem like a fix. 

I wonder if I uninstall ZBRUSH2020 and reload it if that would fix the problem (unless it does have an issue with CC3 - which I don't think? But...) Like a file would still be broke in the process - it would suck to have to reload so much customization back into ZB to find out that wasn't the problem - but I would still prefer that VS reloading gigs upon gigs of info back into the pipeline... Seems like such a silly glitch - and I haven't seen any black and white instruction on just how to fix - do the thing and it does a thing... (I see actual instruction for GoZ command fixes for MODO, Maya, 3dMax and even Photoshop - just not the same for CC3 (unless I have just not come across it) - Mostly just a lot of opinions and some people giving up online - Or so and so wrote me and it's fixed (with zero explanation to how it got fixed - lol.) I'm not quite pulling my hair out yet... but really frustrated... Thanks for letting me vent - lol.
