i used the HD geometry sculpt on level 1 last night and finished the model. i tried to open it this morning and i continually get an error saying MEMORY ERROR sorry, this actionc ould not be completed seccessfuly due to insufficiet amount of system memory(RAM) then zbrush attempts to recover the file and when i open the recovered file its just the star mesh.
i was also saving in iterations and every file since i turned on the HD geometry will not open. has anyone had this problem or knows a workaround? id be really greatful ! thanks
If I’m understanding you correctly, it sounds like you pushed HD way beyond what it’s intended use is. I’ve never had a need to use HD geometry, but my understanding is that it’s something you use once you’ve reached a point in your subdivision resolution where your computer hits the ceiling of what it can handle. You would then eek out a little more detail by using HD geometry.
nah i only did it to level 1 (the hd geo) (the reg mesh is level 7 and its only a head) and ive used HD geo before.
i remade the scene with the same base mesh, same HD geo, and same levels across the board and it opens and closes fine. only problem is i lost an entire days work.
i posted in the straight to pixologic forum, it has some views but no one said anything.
