I have another issue. It’s much worse and I am afraid permanent as well. My ztool froze my Zbrush session. Now I find that both the recovered file cannot be opened nor can the previous save which is crazy. This ztool took me quite some time to create so I feel rather empty at the moment.
I understand that there can be an issue restoring the recovered file, but why is my last save also corrupt? Here is the message when I try to load it: Error while reading m_pLinksFaceList Object:
and then is says to email Pixologic with this issue.
Is there any possible way to get this properly loaded? Sadly now I can only recover the document of that piece…
Once a model has become corrupted there is no way to recover it.
I recommend always saving a different version of your model each time you save during a session. For example, if you save three times in one session you would end up with three files. If in the next session you save four times you would overwrite each of the three original files and create a fourth.
If you do this, then in the rare event that a model becomes corrupted you will at least be able to return to a slightly older version and not lose all your work.
