Hi,
yesterday I followed along some instructions to create a custom IMM curve brush:

Since the start of the fur tip always had an open mesh I decided to GoZ the mesh to Maya and close holes on top and bottom.
I added some edgeloops, too, to better hold the form of the fur strands when smoothing (stepping up in resolution).
Top, middle and bottom got their individual polygroups.
At the end of the evening I had a working IMM tri-part curve brush that was able to create nice fur strands. So I saved it for later usage in ZStartup\BrushPresets.
Today I opened ZBrush. No auto-load of said brush. Why?
Okay, I loaded it in manually.
No thumbnail preview in the IMM brush selection menu (top row). But it is clearly shown when opening the Brush menu.
Well, I can live with that.
But trying to paint with that brush on a polymeshed Plane always crashes ZBrush. Which did not happen yesterday when I was working with the brush from inside the session.
Here’s the brush in question. Maybe somebody got an idea what went wrong? I do not want to go through the creation process of that brush each and every time I want to use it.
