Help with Model in Zbrush

I created this model in another program ( one possible use is for a mermaid) and imported into Zbrush Z2 and begin looking over the model and want to clean it up. So I did poly div two or three times then got a Zbrush message that said I would have to change the mem setting in pref>mem so I changed the default (.87 I think) to 10 and had to do an exit from Zbrush as I don’t think I have enough memory in the cpu to do the 10. Anyway, I would like to clean up the model (smooth, etc) so that it takes textures better. I tried the Def>Smooth several times and after that it did not look like it was smoothing the model anymore. I tried the poly div twice and it looked like it was cleaning up the model.

Maybe close the other progs running in the same time for win some free memory!

You have very little RAM in your system.

As has been stated in the Q&T Forum, ZBrush sets the MaxPolyPerMesh value automatically based upon the amount of RAM that you have. While you can change it, you will experience slow downs if you do. And you should never change it to more than twice the value that ZBrush had set. So in your case, keep it below 1.74 in order to avoid issues.
