Decimation Master using Pre Process Current freezes Zbrush - Help!

Hey,

Need help here, running into decimation master problems, Zbrush 2022 would freeze and I would have to restart it every time, I don’t know what to do. What I am trying to do is preserve some edges and dents during decimations.

First, I masked out the parts I don’t want to be decimated.

Second, I go to Decimation Master and click Pre Process Current, which turns out fine.

Third, I click on Decimate Current and this is where Zbrush would freeze. And I have tired using percentages anywhere from 0.5% to 10%.

I also ran a simple test using the tube model provided in Zbrush, subdivide to about 200,000 points, deleted the low subdivs and masked what I don’t want to be decimated and it would still run into problems.

I’ve tested different mask sizes on the model also, it seems to handle ok with only small masks. It is very finicky, I never know when it is going to freeze.

Is anyone else having this problem when you are using masks?

Hello @Kay_Wil ,

You will need to contact ZBrush support for technical issues with your installation. The other users in the Usage Questions forums won’t be able to assist you with problems like this, and technical support for ZBrush is not provided over the public forums.

I’m going to close this thread to eliminate the expectation of any further assistance here, and to encourage you to go where you need to to get help for your issue.

Thank you!
