So i encountered a problem and would love some help!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m just desperate, i made the huge mistake of keep saving a project on quicksaves and zproject instead of the tool itself as i was working on multiple tools at once and wanted to keep them all in the same file, but then after posing a character it somehow got corrupted and i could keep working but all the saves i made are useless (that is a guess, i can send some file to be checked if someone wants to)i cant open anything since the creation of the tpose mesh, and i spent a lot rigging and posing the character :C

My guess is that the Tpose somehow got bugged and i cant open any file with it inside the project.
(for anyone wondering the project had 6 tools with about 20 subtools on each, with one larger tool at around 60 subtools, and the quicksave is about 200mb, so it souldn’t be a problem to manage this file)
So my final question is there anything i can do to retrieve a tool from a project file?
Would opening the project in another pc probably help?
Is there anything i can do?

Thank you for your time and advice if given! ^^

pd: I would advice pixologic to take a good look at the plugin TransposeMaster, as the only 2 corrupted files i’ve ever gotten on Zbrush were both using with this plugin.

Did you try to open the project file without UNDO History?

Hello @Nil_bertran_ribas

You can try the “Load Tools from Project” function in the Tool Palette in a fresh session of ZBrush.

However, if the file is truly corrupted, especially because the tools themselves are problematic, I wouldnt count on that working. If it does work, save out the imported tools individually or as part of a new project file.
