Masking consistently causing crash

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi there;

I’m having a problem while using masks. Consistently, every time I “click” on a mask to soften the mask zbrush will crash. This has happened without fail over 10 times. I can click and hold to paint a mask and it seems to work fine, but if i simply click, zbrush crashes.

I have the mem set at 4096, using windows 7 pro 64.

Dunno if this is a commonly asked question, I’ve looked around quite a bit and have seen a few people that seem to have the same problem but I haven’t found an answer yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Used to happen to me with imported models that had unwelded verts. Zbrush would crash during ctrl click masking. If you’re working on an imported model you can slide the weld slider in the import palette all the way to the right then import your model, which got rid of this problem for me back when I encountered it.

Now, if you’re having that problem on a native zbrush model then that goes beyond what I can help with as I’ve only seen it happen on imported geometry.

Yeah unfortunately this isn’t an imported model. I developed this model using Zspheres and haven’t used it in any sort of pipeline thus far. This is actually the second time this has happened using a model built locally within zbrush.
