HD Geometry UI lock out

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I have this weird problem when ever I start working with HD geometry. Everything seems fine when I start the UI opens and closes roll outs just fine but after a few minuets of working switching in and out of HD mode the UI seems to “lock” slightly different from locking up the roll outs just refuse to open or close. The only way i’ve found to fix it is to save (god help me if I minimized the tool pallet) and close out the program for a restart.

I’m wondering if I’m alone in this or if other people have this same problem. More importantly if anyone knows a way to fix it.

no picture because its just an oddity it doesn’t matter what I work on it happens all the time.

Might be a simple case of running out of RAM. How many Undo’s do you have set in your Mem settings?

#3

default I believe [doc & tool = 4]. I only have 4 gigs of ram so that might be the problem. keeping an open mind however I think I’ll wait to see if its a more suspenseful cause before setting my sights on this as the root of the issue.

thank you for your help though, nice fast reply ^^

If you have a 64 bit OS, then more than 4 gigs RAM would benefit ZBrush a bit more, but if you only have a 32 bit OS then more RAM would just be a waste of money. Even with a 64 bit OS, ZBrush will only use 4 gigs max as it is still a 32 bit program.
