ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello all, this is my first post in Zbrush central.

I´m using Windows 7 64 bit, gforce GTX 460 with 12 giga RAM.
Before going trough all tutorials for this release, i´m exploring all menu options and came to a halt in a function.
The command file/timeline/save and file/timeline/load doesn´t seem to work for me.
As i understand, it saves undo/redo history of changes made into a model layer tool, like the MOVIE table of functions, but i wasn´t able to make it work.
It creates the .ZMO file after changing the topology on a cylinder in 40 steps, but loading it accomplishes nothing.
I probably misusing it, but i´d like to be sure this isn´t an error of some kind.
If that´s the case, is there a tutorial about this function in Zbrush 4R6? Thanks in advance.

You are confusing the TimeLine with the Undo History. See here:

Thanks Marcus - i´m exploring every menu option in order, and couldn´t understand the results, therefore the confusion.
I´ve just reached the MOVIE button and it seems to be working fine.
I´ll probably find a timeline tutorial eventually, after exploring all default menu options.
However, i had Zbrush crashing on me only when i tried to replace the material in my test scene with the Skinshade4 one - there where several light and render options activated.
The file was too large to attach here (47 mega zipped), so i uploaded it mediafire:

The crash ALWAYS happens when i select Skinshade4 under the “materials” menu.

Thanks, I confirm that this crashes for me too, though I have no idea why. I will keep trying to find out.
