Downloaded material problem

So there are a good amount of already made materials that can be downloaded from Zbrush’s Material Library. However, some of the materials cause problems to Zbrush when I start the program and when I tried to Initialize Zbrush to it’s default state.

Does anyone know how I can avoid going through each of the materials to find the faulty material that crashes Zbrush? In addition, why would there be faulty materials allowed to be uploaded to the main Zbrush site for download by other users?

How many materials are you adding to the ZStartup folder? Too many will cause what you describe. You should not put more than 25 in there. (I think that’s the magic number. It may be 20.)

The ZStartup folder is not for putting in everything you think looks cool and might be nice to have someday. It’s for putting in the stuff that you intend to use constantly.
