In parameters I select the figure to mesh resolution my obj is there. Problem, I insert figure into scene, use goz to send figure to zbrush.īack in DaZ I go to figure>I add level of detail import obj as "daz scale" name it. I have not changed the names of anything or anything else like that. Update to this: to be more specific, objects I move in zbrush, then reupdate keyshot with lose their materials in keyshot that I have tweaked, and get the initial zbrush material they were assigned, with the default settings. Try sending a flat color embedded object from Zbrush after restarting both programs. I sometimes encounter issues with getting a material (from zbrush) to update in Keyshot for whatever reason. Does anyone know a workaround/fix? Or am I basically SOL? Unfortunately, I cannot manually import every subtool into keyshot as I have the zbrush package version and not the standalone version. I think that from now on I will use these methods and it will be ok.īasically Title, ive been doing some research and it seems like if you have a little too much fibermesh in your Zbrush file, that you cannot try and use the keyshot bridge from ZBrush without the whole thing crashing. For my first assignment in witch I used keyshot I did not have it resolved yet. I guess you are right Thor, it is probably a matter of figuring out the right workflow method. Why would suddenly the camera change it`s height in respect to the floor when I render the man with it? I hope things like that will not happen with zbrush subtools This time it forgot the material I assigned and I had to reassign it.Īnother weird manifestation of the same problem can be seen in these two renderings. You can make it invisible in keyshot.Īnyhow, I re tried the process of closing and re opening both programs. And also, since keyshot will always snap your tool or subtools lowest point to the ground, to retain its height in space you should always have another subtool in your ground height. Ok, what I found so far is that if you want to retain the position of a subtool in space in keyshot in a consistent way you have to scale and rotate your model within zbrush and not in keyshot. This makes it difficult to build an retain a scene while updating your subtools, unless you always want to render (import them to keyshot) them all (wich takes more time with complex models). if you only want to render a subtool it will place that in the center, moving it from the original position in respect to the tool. If you want to render the whole tool it will place it in the center. This is particularly annoying when working with a model (a tool) with various subtools. The way it feels in the bridge is like the camera adjusts itself to the size and of the object moves even if you locked it. When you import an OBJ into keyshot (not the specific one for Zbrush) there is a dialog box that lets you decide if you want to center the geometry, snap it to ground or keep the original location. If I am right is there a workaround?Īnother thing that looks like a drawback to me is the fact that it places the model ( or a subtool) in the center of the scene without the ability to decide if I want it in the center (or locked to the ground) or if I want it to retain the position in the scene. Did I get it right? If it is so it seems like a drawback to me. this means that the next time you will want to refine your model and render it with keyshot you will need to re position it an assign materials again. I am trying to imagine the workflow and have got the impression that once you export your model with subtools to Keyshot, build your scene there, you need to finish your work in the same session because even if you save it as a bip file, once you close the program you lose the live linking to your model. Hi everybody, I have been playing for a while with keyshot and with the bridge.
