GoZ (short for GoZBrush) is a dynamic
bridge between ZBrush and other 3D
packages. With a single click, you can
send your object from DAZ Studio to
ZBrush for editing. Once you are all
done, you can then send it back to DAZ
Studio, again with just one click! No
more wasted time managing your import

and export.

I want to briefly cover another option,
the one I used for this image. I have my
hair broken up into several sections,
which are all imported into DAZ Studio as
separate objects. I do this to allow more
independent control of the different hair
parts. I select the offending hair part and
move back and forth between DAZ Studio
and ZBrush, making subtle changes until I
am happy with the results. Each time I do
this it will create a new morph which can be
adjusted up or down to my liking in DAZ
Studio. This method gives very precise
control over the object modifications.

Options dialog appears. Choose Update
Geometry, select Create Morph, and click
Accept. The new morph is now available by
clicking the word ZBrush on the Parameters
tab. Adjust the Morph slider to your taste.
Creating morphs with ZBrush is handy as “The final composition was laid out in daz
