ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello. Does anyone know how to set up the quadro fx 4600 graphics card to work with zbrush. I seem to be getting a lot of crashes. Projection master is not working that well and other small issues. It’s quite an expensive card and I thought that buying it would help me.

Please if you know what settings you have and it works good for you. Let me know.

So far my 3D settings are:

adjust image settings and preview: let the app decide
manage 3d settings: set to 3D app Modeling AFR
physX GPU acceleratoin is enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Your graphics card has zero impact on ZBrush. ZBrush uses software rendering; not hardware rendering.

If you’re having problems, then it’s something other than your card. What do you mean by “Projection Master is not working well”? Can you show examples? What are the other “small issues”? What are your system specs, and what are your settings in the Preferences>Mem menu? What plugins have you installed? How about other content in the ZStartup folders? Have you made any changes to the ZData folder? When is the last time you defragmented the drive ZBrush is installed on?

Thanks for the reply.

Well this is a new machine and it’s a sun microsystems Ultra 24. Core 2 quad with 8 GB and the fx 4600.

The drives are new.

The machine was installed a few weeks ago.

I’ll try and take some snapshots tomorrow to show what problems I get with projection master.

Thanks
