ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m probably really annoying and want to kick me off the forums, lol…

It could be a laptop issue since I am using ZBrush on an 8 yr old machine. But, once in a while I notice when I moving my mesh around with the transform tools, rotate, transform and move etc; It disappears on me and I cannot seem to get it back? I hit the F key cause I know about the auto save ( quicksave ). That’s not the issue. It’s when I move the mesh around. Doesn’t happen often, just once in a while. Could it be a memory issue having conflicts with the program? Or is there something I can do to get it back other than the F key?

I think it happens when I accidentally hold the mesh down and drag it off the viewport. Thanks for the help!

8 years old, hmmm, what OS and ZBrush version?

#3

Windows 7 64 Bit
AMD 64 Turion
Radeon Express 1100
1GB Memory

Despite how old it is and having 1GB of Ram, it’s been running great on it. I run Poser Pro 2014 with it and works fine with that too. No real big issues but the disappearing problem. But, being it is 8 yrs old I wouldn’t rule that out either.

I’ve got ZBrush 4R6

Is there a way to find out what the latest version it is?

ZPlugin> Auto Update it wants 2 GB or more of RAM. http://pixologic.com/zbrush/system/

Yep…I wouldn’t doubt it is due to the lack of ram! I do notice if I hide the tool pallets on the right it doesn’t do it. I’ll have to work with it like that till I get myself a new laptop! :slight_smile:

Thanks Doug!
