Digital Art Zone

Been using it since it first came out and have had no problems except my own brain problem…...... forgot to update the essentials.

Home now.. I did notice it took forever to load up a saved file from the previous beta and when it did I got duplicate ID notice again!  I hope this isn’t a step backwards.  That would not be cool.!

Its not a step forward after I finish this sequence and longer need the scene I will most likely go back to 6 unless they have the official next version by then this one sucks

Same here…Zbrush is a bit out of my reach….and my copy of Photoshop is so old, I’d have to brush the dust off the floppies to install it.  Been using Blender and GIMP since nigh on to forever.  I’d love to see bridges for either/both of those…

Yes, I’m still using PS 7, bought in a box from one of those liquidation and surplus outlets, must be 10 years ago or more.  The Gimp is great, but after all those years with PS I can’t get used to it.

I’ve slightly toyed with the idea of buying ZBrush, but I don’t really have any talent for sculpting, which I think is the main focus of it and I think it would be a waste for me. I’m happy with Blender for traditional modelling, UV mapping, etc. (and of course it does a lot more). I’d love someone to do a “GoBlender” bridge. I have import/export down pat now, but a bridge would be amazing.

Yeah, 7 here too. It has all the functionality I’ve ever needed. Blender sounds interesting and could be something to look into.

The last install of DS I had was something like 2.5, I never really mastered it, but, now it’s back in my arsenal again I’ll aim to master it. If 3delight is good enough for the movie industry then it’ll do me! At least with our brand of 3D you don’t need to sit in the dark with Roy Orbison’s castoff’s on your head!

CHEERS!

Well, finally got the chance to check the GoZ bridge.  It’s completely borked.  I reinstalled it, I forced a reinstall via ZBrush and tried relocating it via ZBrush and all things end up with ZBrush seeing it just fine but DAZ Studio can’t connect to the program whether I have ZB already invoked or letting the bridge invoke it.  GRRRRRR

Do you have the right version of ZBrush!?

CHEERS!

Just updated to ZB 4R5

I see, sounds like a Daz bug then.

CHEERS!

Yea, Perhaps the ZBrush interface changed with it’s new fade out and see desktop option.  Can’t imagine that breaking the bridge from where DAZ Studio is but it’s one of the very noticeable things about the ZB update!

That’s freaky!

What about the firewall or your AV?

CHEERS!

Yea, but if the slider is all the way to the right you are looking right at your other open window or maybe a tutorial you might have under the programs UI… I can see it being useful. 

No, the system is fine with both DS and ZB.  I checked all that out as well.  It’s gotta be a bug or something DAZ hasn’t fixed in the bridge yet.  If others are using the bridge with no issue then I’m hoping someone will post saying so then it might be on my end.  After trying everything I can think of it seems hopeless for now. 

Created a bug report in case anyone else wants to add to it: https://bugs.daz3d.com/view.php?id=48758

Here’s hoping they do an update, and not Daz soon!

CHEERS!

Can’t help with the Bridge as I don’t have Zbrush.  But when you installed the beta, did you get the bridge plugin in the beta package?  The one in the beta package should have a 1.49 in its version number…

Of course.

Of course.

Just double checking…I don’t have Zbrush or Photoshop, so I don’t really pay that much attention to the plugins, so I only keep the latest versions archived.  I did notice that they didn’t overwrite the previous ones in the archive…so I manually deleted the older ones.
