ZBrush Usage Questions

i have found several threads about the bump brush crash…but not about depth brush crash.???is it also a known issue…???
i can use all this tools without any crashes until i load some geometry, (a simple sphere dosent make it crash though), after geometry has been modelled/imported i have to be extremely cautious with those tools (saving constantly or using other tools to achieve similar effects). this applies too hook and snake hook brushes as well. the bump brush crashing more frequently and the depth brush less frequently.

You don’t always need to duplicate the layer in fact…if you dont bake or if you bake one time…
Just take your tool twice ,scale the first one …quit edit mode but don’t bake it…just let it be a perfect “bavoir” (bavoir is the french word for the bib you put around the baby’s neck when they are eating :eek: ) …redraw the tool …It must be over the first one…if you bake several time …well…the two layers remains a solution…:idea:
