    Hi,
    I can't get the model orientation to be the same in C4D and Zbrush using GoZ. I noticed that there is an option in the Zbrush preferences, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect.
    How can I set this up?

    Thanks
    Ricardo

      Hi Ricardo,

      I can't tell you why you can't overwrite the settings, but I can suggest what to do manually.

      Search for the file "GoZ_info.txt" I assume you find a few; one is for Cinema 4D, and it is in the Cinema 4D folder.

      Open it in a Text Editor, set the Y values in the Opposite TRUE vs FALSE

      Save it. Restart ZBrush.

      I went through this here a few minutes ago, as I typically do not answer from memory.

      It works now; I got it upside down (and then changed back as before as it worked for me before). So that might count as a double check even.

      Fingers crossed, it will work for you.

      Cheers

        Hi Dr. Sassi,

        Thanks for the heads up!

        This is the path for windows users C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Cinema4D

        And the Values look like this:

        EXPORT_FLIP_X = FALSE
        EXPORT_FLIP_Y = TRUE
        EXPORT_FLIP_Z = TRUE
        IMPORT_FLIP_X = FALSE
        IMPORT_FLIP_Y = TRUE
        IMPORT_FLIP_Z = TRUE

        Everything working fine now. Developers should address this simple change. It doesn't make sense to have it flipped.

        Cheers!
