Problem running Goz after upgrading to ZBrush 2021

if any of you have upgraded Zbrush to Version 2021 and you can no longer use GoZ then this did the trick for me. Note I'm using a 64 bit Windows 10 system, DAZ 4.12.1.117 Pro 64 bit and ZBrush 2021.1.1 (There was an update available immediately after I did the first install of 2021.)

----

1)Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 2021\Troubleshoot Help"

If you have installed ZBrush in a non default location, you will have to navigate there instead.

-----

2)There is a "TroubleShootHelpFile.txt" in this folder. Read the first paragraph, i.e. :-

"If you are unable to launch ZBrush in your system, you may need to launch the included vcredist.exe in order to install needed windows plugins."

If you are running a 64 bit system  then  you need to run the one named "VC_redist.x64.exe" .

This reinstalls the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 64 bit magic spells. It may take a while.

As far as I can tell you can ignore the rest of the helpfile i.e. all of the stuff about DEP. I didn't need it.

-----

3)Run the "GoZ_for_ZBrush_Installer_WIN.exe". Please note that there is a file called "GoZ_for_ZBrush_Installer_WIN_3DSMax_Legacy.exe". Make sure you run the right one.

-----

4) Run ZBrush. From the "Preferences" menu open the GoZ section , clear cache files, check the path to Daz (mine was okay)

-----

5) Try it out by running Daz and sending something to ZBrush. It should find its way there.  Create a morph and then send it back to Daz (Tools Menu/GoZ) to make sure it finds its way back properly.

-----

This worked for me.

    Hi, I'm not a Daz user, but I had to create an account just to thank you for this info. I'm a blender user and this was driving me crazy! Worked as a charm, and I believe it will work for all the other applications.

    Cheers!

    It still is relevant with Zbrush 2022. Love you man.

    Just imported the most beautiful cube into ZBrush after tearing my hair for 2h.

    Thank you!  Zbrush 2022, just needed to run the GoZ installer again.  So many uninstall and reinstalls of the plugin in Daz until I found this thread...

    I think I give up. I've read every tutorial regarding this subject on internet, evertone says it works for them, but I have no success at all. When I try to export from DAZ to ZBrush, ZBrush crashes. When I open GOZ on ZBrush it won't detect DAZ.

    Nothing seems to work for me.
