Questions and Troubleshooting for ZBrush 4R3

Nevermind. Got it.

under Movie you must have Window highlighted switch it to Doc.

I think I have a way of doing Depth Cue:


  • Do a BPR render
  • In Render Filters activate one of the filter thingys.
  • Set Filter to Blur
  • Set Strength to 1
  • Set Depth to 1
  • Screw with other settings for fun and chaos!

I hope this helps!

For Fog you can do the same thing only use Colorize instead of Blur and you can set your fog to any color you like, no alphas or textures though which is kinda sad.

Oh yah, doing both with two filter thingys is even cooler!

Also messing with Blend Mode is cool as heck in both!

EDIT: Setting the filter type to Paint seems to be one of the best… I noticed this after I posted here, also someone mentioned something about this a while back, Im trying to figure out who it was and what they said.

I have repeated a crash after executing a Multi Map Export. When Zbrush is restarted the ‘Tablet Services Unavailable’ notice appears once, it does not repeat itself across the screen, Zbrush will run but the tablet does not function normally. When I check the Wacom drivers through Wacom Tablet Properties it can not find the drivers. When Photoshop is started it crashes after bringing up the interface.

The latest Wacom drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled. I have also pulled the plug on the tablet and reinserted it.

Wacom Intuos3, Windows 7 64. 12 g ram.

Any thoughts?

I believe this is a wacom driver and/or Windows issue.

I know it looks like a Zbrush bug but I can consistently get the same error running a sequence of other programs without ever opening Zbrush. I think there’s a conflict with Wacom and Windows 7’s default tablet driver and settings.

Hi, I have followed along with the zclassroom video in order to test out micromesh, but I’m not getting the ‘select micromesh’ option in my display properties dialogue box.

here’s what I have instead:no_micromesh.jpg

If anyone can suggest a fix for this I’d greatly appreciate it,

thanks,

-Josh

Hey Josh, in ZBRUSH4R3 the micromesh feature has been moved to the geometry palette near the bottom.micro.jpg

James has your problem sorted, as I get the same, very frustrating…

I’m having the same problem. the [select a micromesh] button is missing. I just submitted a ticket to Pixologic about this.

The Micromesh button is in the Geometry subpalette not in Display Properties. Look in the Documentation folder in your ZBrush directory for what’s new in ZBrush 4R3 (Page 51)

Got it.

thanks

I’m having a strange issue. After going to the Preferences and under Interface, I shut off the settings like “One Open Subpalette”, “UI Groups” and “Auto Close UI Groups” to experiment and decide how I want it setup. Since then when I click on Preferences everything is gone other than “Init ZBrush” and “Config” which will open. Then if I click on “Restore Standard UI” nothing happens. Things like “Quick Info”, “Hotkeys” and “Interface” are simply gone entirely.

Is my only option to reinstall and if so will this happen next time I change default settings?

Hello,
I’ve been trying to split a model into separate bits using the slice curve brush & dynamesh (I have the group button on), I remesh & different polygroups are created — however the ‘group split’ button doesn’t become active in the subtool menu.

I have tested the process with a basic dynamesh with no problem (thinking my model may be too high in resolution but it’s only 128 resolution).

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don’t know why, but when i launhcing upgrader. It works, then it created back up folder. But there is a short message tht i can’ read, then the back up is erased. And zbrush is still on R2. wihtout any error message. Does anyone get the same problem? i have turn dep off, made all the steps, get my computer updates, run the upgrader as administrator, with the troubleshoot boxes and nothing help me at all. And as i can’t read error message. I don’t knwo why it is not updating.
I am running on windows 7 64Bits professional version

Have you actually launched ZBrush since doing the update? The upgrader won’t change the name of the folder or of the desktop shortcut. So launch ZBrush and look in the title bar to see which version it shows.

it is still r2, it is written in properties when i right click on zbrush.exe looking version tab. And when it launched it asked me for 4r2 activation on firefox…
But i have also post on french forum, and a man from pixologic will help me. i guess it might happen sometimes, perhaps because of visual studio 2010, but i can’t delete it…But thanks for responding. If i found what happened and how to fix it, i will post, it might help.
I am also sorry for my english, i am doing my best…hope it’s enough

Cannot export because of missing QTCF.dll

Also not recognizing Quicktime. How to fix this? Where is the correct file, and directory? Please help. 4R3

Try going to Apple and get the latest Quicktime. Install that and see if it fixes your problem.

Yes I have done so, however the error continues. The error also suggests re-installing the software, but I hope that doesn’t mean re-installing Zbrush4r3. I downloaded the newest version of Quicktime (free) last night about 10 minutes after I recieved my first error. I’m going to try exporting from 4r2.5 that is installed on my desktop (haven’t upgraded that pc yet), just to see if that works. Be right back…

No luck with that either. I installed the newest Quicktime on my desktop, and then tried 4r2.5 exporting movie and recieved the same error message.

‘The program can’t start because QTCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.’ Do I have to buy pro quicktime?
