HELP - Major Problem With ZBrush!!!!!

[Kruzr]

'Afternoon all.....I've just developed a Major problem with ZBrush - I can no longer import any "Images - Alphas" or load any "Tools" or anything!!! When I attempt to load anything, such as an Image or Alpha or Tool, when I click on the "Import or Load" button nothing happens!!! I can still save or export anything, but not load or import. I was working on something earlier & quit for a while, when I came back & loaded ZBrush I encountered this problem. :mad: Anybody have an answer for this or a solution????? How about it Pixolator, any suggestions??? :confused: I'll check back later for an answer, see'ya later..... :cool: Mark.

Hey Kruzr, I had the same problem earlier this week. So frustrating! I don't know what or why it happened, but after a reboot all is OK. If you're still having problems, you can send one of the files that won't import to ZuZu so he can check it out. Good Luck!

Hi Kruzr,

Are you using Windows?

It's possible that the Import dialog box is coming up, but that you click on the ZBrush window before it appears. This sends it to the backround. Try holding down the 'tab' key and hitting the 'alt' key and cycle through the open windows to see if the Import dialog box is there.

Tell me if that works, if not- any more information world be helpful. Did anything on your system change between the last time it worked, and the first time it didn't? Did you install any new programs in that time?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

Hi ZuZu.....Thanks for the concern. I uninstalled ZBrush & did a fresh install. The import window is working again. Don't know just what happened??? While I got you here, there's something else that ZBrush has been doing since my first install, & I've not seen it posted before. After placing a marker for an object, on my work area, I quite often have a very hard time getting any object to load on the canvas using the marker. Example: I load a sphere 3D & apply it to the canvas - then I deform it how ever - after that I add color & paint it. Then lets say I want to delete it & reload the same object to do some more editing, well, several times when I click on the marker ( the little arrow shows on canvas ) the object I've got selected will not appear??? The layers window shows nothing in that layer either. In the Transform window, all the edit functions light up like there's an object, but there's not! The colors are correct - the ZAdd & RGB buttons are correct, but nothing shows up. To make it simple for you to understand - I add a Sphere 3D / edit it / color it - ( without changing any settings anywhere ) I clear that layer after placing a Marker, then attempt to load that same object or another object, using a the marker on the canvas, but nothing shows up. Now.....If I continue to click on the marker several times ( anywhere from 3 to 10 ) the object will finally show up on canvas. It's not something that I can reproduce all the time, it happens when it wants to. It can be very annoying! Anyway if you or Pixolator have a solution for that I would greatly appreciate it. I'm just hoping that the new version is released SOON, so I can see if this problem goes away????? :D I guess that's all for now, I'm sure you have other things to do in your life, so you'd better get doing them. See'ya later & have a good one..... :cool: Mark.
