i has working on a character for some days now and relying on quick save to my progress , i then started working on a separate tool and forgot to save my first character the normal way(without quick save) after working on the other tool for a while i then tried to open my character tool and all the quick save tools had been replaced by the other tool! is there any way to recover my first tool?
QuickSave is really meant to be a safety net rather than something you rely completely upon. All files are saved using the same naming convention and ZBrush will only keep the number of iterations defined by your Preferences >> QuickSave settings. Once you reach that number, the oldest copy will always be overwritten and there’s no way way to get it back at that point.
We always recommend that you periodically manually save your files. Should ZBrush crash or if something goes wrong with one of your most recent saves so that it becomes unloadable, QuickSave will usually let you recover rather than needing to start over. But as you’ve discovered, it’s not perfect.
yeah i agree at least i won’t do it again now lesson learnt
