Zbrush crashes after loading ztool - Answered

Hello everyone! I’ve been working on a project for a month from now on. I’ve saved it as i do every time as i finish. The problem is when i tried to load it Zbrush just crashed. I don’t know what to do, i how to get it back from there. The file size is ~46mb, maybe that is that problem? Can anyone help me? This is one of my major projects and it just ended in scraps :confused:

It’s possible that you’ve pushed the model beyond what your computer can handle. It’s also possible that the model simply got corrupted somehow. It’s always good practice to save a few iterations of your models just in case something goes bad.

Do you have a lot of layers? How many polygons had your model hit?

You might be able to recover this by launching ZBrush and immediately setting the Preferences>Compact Mem>Undo values to the minimum. This tells ZBrush to reserve less RAM. If that doesn’t work, I’m afraid I don’t have any ideas for how to recover the project.

Well it didn’t resolve my problem and my model had about 1.5mln polys. I guess it maybe have something to do with retopology… I was making additional clothing to my model using retopology and as I remember I saved the ztool while in this mode… Don’t know if it could do something with it. Well, thank you for your help, I’ll have to start over again… Damn :)!
