Hi
So I am very very new to zbrush. I downloaded the trial and fired up the program to finally give it a try and distressingly it caused my computers fans to kick up like crazy. This was mostly confusing because my computer is able to handle having multiple versions of maya or mudbox open at the same time with no issues. Doing some research I did come across the fact that zbrush does work totally differently from the other programs and uses cpu and not the graphics card, but everything I have read says that my computer should handle the program just fine. I am using a Mac Book Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I also know that it has 4 cores, but I dont have the best of computer knowledge so i’m honestly lost here.
Mostly my question comes down to have I done something wrong with the install of the program or is my computer just not able to handle the program properly? My computer seems to run it all right, but it does eventually give out and crash. I’m afraid to really push the program to the limit for fear of damaging my computer.
If anyone has any advice with the program or similar issues they have run in to please let me know as I am genuinely interested in learning more about the program, but dont want to run in to any issues with my computer.
Sorry if the thread is redundant, I am very new to this whole thing.
Thank you
