Zbrush 4.0 and XP Windows Saving Error (answered)

Is anyone using Windows XP and using zbrush 4.0 having problems saving there project files?

You really haven’t given enough info for anyone to have a real chance at helping you. What are your system specs? What error message are you getting? What are your various settings in the Preferences>Mem menu?

ZB4 and XP here work perfect. First time i see some report about XP and ZB4!

I am having a lot of trouble working with zbrush. I’ll open a document. Load a tool and start working. At the end of the day, I’ll click “Document>SaveAs”. The next day, I’ll click “Document>Open” and I will also bring the original sub tool model in just to have. The work that I did in the previous day will load, however on many occaisions I won’t beable to edit, or rotate the model. It was as if it was forzen or a saved jpeg. If anyone has any answers or suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

The system I am running is below:

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Computer:
Intel®Core™2Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
2.40GHz, 3.00GB of RAM

Use “save as” in the Tool menu to save the ZTool, not the Document menu. You can’t edit it because all you did was take a picture of it by saving the document.

Yes that saves the base model in the subtools, especially if you change the shape of the model. But what if I am texturing a model and assigned a different material for example instead of the MatCap Red Wax to a MatCap Gray, and then applied different settings to the model let’s say added polypaint and upped the resolution, and finally imported different textures using the new spotlight feature. I am finding that all of these settings applied previously have been deleted or NOT SAVED when I quite and restart zbrush, even if I click “SaveAs” in the tool menu. How can I get back to where I left off in zbrush when quiting the application or do I have to redo everything to get back to the state I was previously before I quit ?

In that case you would use “Save As” in the “File” menu to save it as a Project file, but as a precaution, you should still save the ZTool.

Also, see “ZBrush Projects” starting on page 28 of ZBrush4_whats_new.pdf in your ZBrush 4.0/Documentation folder

thank you. I will look into this. Thanks for your response.
