man i really need decimation master for 3.5
Still no news on an update for 3.5? Or other plugins for that matter…
Hi there,
I was really tensed, what will happen, if I would try this new plug.
So I loaded it, put the extracted data in my ZPlugs folder and found it at the right place.
So, I modeled a bit and then I tried to start decimation master.
When I start pre-processing, there appears data in the Decimation Data folder, and the computer starts working.
But it does´nt stop any more.
I tried a really small model, and I tried the demo soldier, as it is recommended here, both show the same effect.
I can stop this process, if I go to the programme-interrupt. I just have to open this finder-tool, and ZB seems to be o.k., and after that, the computing in Decimation Master stops and ZB is ready for work again. But nothing has happened.
Any idea?
I´m working with MacPro, OSX 10.5.6, 8GB RAM, so this is not the smallest one…
Greetings,
Stephan
Pick the default polysphere, open Decimation Master, don’t modify the options, click on preprocess current and if the preprcessing is done, switch to polyframe mode (Shift+F) and press Decimaten Current.
What happen?
Hi Totyo,
I just tried it with a easy form, it happens the same:
in the left upper corner I can see »File exported. Time 0.001 secs« and in the Decimation Master Data-folder there appears a file called »config001.zdc« and »config001.zdc.running«
Could it be, that the decimation process needs a lot of time??
Thanks,
Stephan
Though I loaded Decimation Master for several times, it works just now, because I loaded it with Safari and not with Firefox.
Curious thing…
I used it on my 32-bit 4 gig RAM Windows machine and it worked great.
Until I upgraded to ZBrush 3.5
Now I’m hooked and going through Decimation Master withdrawal.
I tried MeshLab (free open source) but even moderate-sized models crash it. I don’t know how you guys handled the memory so well, but come back with a 3.5 version! We miss you!
When I install the decimation master script and start zbrush my decimation master zsc file gets truncated from the downloaded 87kb to 38kb and the plug wont load. In the script file all that comes up is SRBZ. I’m running zbrush 3.1 and the files are in the correct folder (program files/zbrush3/zstartup/zplugs). All other plugs work except this one. Is there some sort of conflict going on? I’m not a noob at this and I cannot believe i’m the only one with this problem. Any help would be apprieciated. Also have the 2005 redist and also the 2008 redist installed. I’m at a loss.
Did you download the Decimation Master from the Download page? If you did that will only work with ZBrush3.5R3.

where i can download decimation master for ZB3.1 then…
e*: scratch that. found it
Well, that’s great… but where did you find it? I’ve been going nuts trying to get the plugin to work only to read above that it works for ZB3.5 and I have 3.1… grrr
Small question…
Tried running the 3.5r3 version and after the pre-decimation tried exporting the model. Ended up with a 1kb file when I did an export all subtools. Anyone had this and know why/what I’m doing wrong? Never remember having this problem in 3.1
A problem has been found in the Export All function. An update of Decimation Master which fix the bug will be available soon.
Does the current version work with 3.5r2?
I assume our license here allows us to get r3 but I’ll have to bug the IT guy about that.
Coolies!
I’m running ZBrush 3.5R3 and I can’t seem to get Decimation Master working even if i have tried reinstalling both of the programs. I did excatly as said on Pixologic’s homepage but Decimation Master won’t just appear in the zplugin panel.
This plugin keeps amazing me, ****ing incredible stuff.
An update to the PC version of Decimation Master has been made available for users of ZBrush 3.5R3. If you have encountered issues with the release of Decimation Master that is included in the 3.5R3 installation, please do the following:
1) Run ZBrush’s installer (which can be accessed from the “Remove Programs” list in your Windows Control Panel) and choose the Modify option. Deselect Decimation Master from the list and then complete the modification. This will uninstall the older release of Decimation Master.
2) Download and install the updated release which may be found here: http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins/
Please note that this is only necessary if you have had issues with Decimation Master.
Happy ZBrushing!
Thank you so much aurick, now it works perfect! i exported a model to Maya, and it works so good.
When I start to preprocess a 7M Mesh in DecimationMaster screen freezes after some time (made between 3% and 25%). Cores are still stressed to roundabout 70% of max, but after sth like 2 minutes ZBrush gets those nasty blue little circle from Win7 and stops working.
I installed version 1.13, but no change.
Any tips to help me will be appreciated.
