Crash with alphabrush 2,5d

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Dear ZBrushers,

my Zbrush 4R7 crashes too much frequently when using the Alphabrush2,5D. Especially the second time I use it. The steps are:

  • I open ProjectionMaster (only deformation and normalized flagged on). Then drop down.
  • I select Alphabrush 2,5D.
  • I drag rect an Alpha on the dropped tool 3D.
  • Projection Master, pick up. All is fine till now.
    -Again projection Master and drop down.
  • Again I select alphabrush 2,5D.
  • this time when I drag-rect an Alpha, my ZBRUSH crashes with ABNORMAL TERMINATION.

Why?
My OS is win7 pro. The tool 3D is 1,5D million polygon.
Maybe ZBRUSH is using too much RAM? I can avoid these very frequently crashes?

Thank you for your help,
I wait for your reply,
best regards

I have tried this (exact steps) with 4.1 million points and I could not get it to crash. I tried a lot of times in 32 bit and 64 bit and it did not crash. Maybe you should start a support ticket.

Dear Zber2,

thank you for your fast reply and for your help. I’ve tried again: sometimes it works, other it crashes as I drag-rect the alpha during ProjectionMaster. I will open a ticket and let you know. Just for info, do you use MAC or PC? And wich OS?
Thank you again,
best regards
Massimo
