I have recently downloaded the trial demo for Zbrush. If I can ever figure out how to do precise masks, it would be good for what I want to do. Working on learning that.
But, I have noticed that while trying to do the masks after a few selections and CTRL-Z undos, the program will crash. Not sure if it is an Nvidia thing or not. Using dual GTX-280 running latest drivers.
Need to add it is crashing pretty regularly when masking objects off and hiding them. Almost unusable for me right now.
It would not be an issue with your graphics card or drivers, because ZBrush doesn’t use them.
Please describe specific steps to duplicate your issue.
Also, which version of ZBrush are you using? The version number is shown in the title bar.
Wow. Talk about technological advances… You can display graphics on my monitor without my graphics card:D Now if you are saying Zbrush uses a special software renderer, then I might understand…
Sorry I generally give more information, but as stated I just downloaded the trial and installed. So from reading other posts that would make it Version 3.1 and yes, its a new/clean install.
I have not increased the PreferencesMax polygon count or Compact Mem as I really do not know what they are yet.
As far as specific steps to duplicate. I can’t do that. Last night it was crashing on just about anything, no ryme or reason. Late last night I installed the latest Nvidia Drivers 182.08 and tonight I imported a OBJ model and hit subdivide and it crashed right off the bat. Restarted, called it back up and did the same thing, hit subdivide about 3 or 4 times, no crash. Ended up with a model at 5,397,920 poly and 5,422,857 points. I figured if anyhting it would croak then or slow down, nothing worked fine.
I will keep trying and if I can reproduce a specific set of commands I will, but for now it was really unexpected and I was going through tutorials, so did not notice a repeatable pattern (to new to software). The only thing I was NOT doing tonight was utilizing my other monitors.
I know several 3D cad programs that have issues with Mult-monitor, does Zbrush?
