How often did your zBrush crash today and when?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,

zBrush crashes frequently on my system and on others as I could read.
It should be a good thing to collect repeatable crash situations to inform Pixo about this and hope for some fixes.
Please put your specs and OS together with your report.

Version used: 4R7 64 Bit
Crashes today ~20
Repeatable on: Shadowbox Mask with “Alpha” Drag Rect Stroke.
Repeatable: one out of five to seven

After a break while posting this, I restarted zBrush.
No probs anymore so far.

System Win7 64 Bit Ultimate
i7 3930k
ASUS Board
64 Gig Ram
Titan GTX

Mine crashes sometimes, maybe one time in every 25 or so. Not enough to be a major annoyance.

#3

Everytime I play with Lightcaps. ZB doesn’t like it when I have more than 2 lights. sigh.

More frequently lately, 4R7 64 bit is locking up, crashing, etc., because it’s using basically all of the memory on my system. I have 12 GBs, and it’s sucking most of it up even when doing minor tasks like rotating the mesh around, or hiding by polygroups. It tells me the maximum polygons per mesh I can go to is around 50 million, yet it’s struggling with large memory chunks eaten up just rotating around something that’s under 6-8 million. Even if I go down to the lowest subdivision (down to a few hundred polygons) and solo the mesh. Something is wrong here. I’d just like it to NOT eat up all of that memory…

Crashes every time I click the “install my license” button to set up Keyshot Bridge. GRRR!!! Nothing beats spending so much money on something you can’t use thanks to crashes.

[EDIT]: I figured it out. I needed to have KeyShot running, lol
