model crash on opening

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I think this may be redundant as ive searched previous posts and couldnt find any sort of fix.

Been working on a model for last 2 months or so about 22 mil polys split across about 20 sub tools, system was starting to slow down abit. added in another subtool did some work and saved with only that subtool showing. Zbrush 3.1 then crashed and now whenever i attempt to reopen it zbrush crashes again almost immediatly.

am going to try what someone posted by starting a different ztl moving it off screen then opening the (possibly corrupted) main ztl i was working on.

Any help is appreciated but i accept it was pretty stupid on my part A pushing my system (e6700 dc 8800gtx 3 gig) and also not saving any backups.

P.S is there a reliable backup addon?

It sounds like you pushed ZBrush beyond what your computer can handle. The model cannot be recovered.

Have you been using the Save feature in SubTool Master? If not, you should start using that instead of ZBrush’s Tool>Save As button. That will help avoid problems. Although it still won’t prevent you from exceeding what your computer can handle.
