Hello, Im wondering if anyone can help.
Ive been at this for 24 hours now with no luck, and to say I am extremely frustrated is a bit of an understatement.
I purchased Zbrush 4R2 a month or two before Christmas, and have not updated to 4R2b yet.
Multimap Export, wether 1 map or all maps causes ZBrush to hang / crash.
Sometimes when a map does unexpectedly export Successfully, zbrush will crash upon completion, completely frozen with nothing other than to End Process via taskmanager. Or select Close program when its offered…Every time guaranteed.
And a reboot/restart is a must for ZB to start up again.
Midway through creating maps / a map, zbrush freezes, hang, crash, for a long time, again I must EndProcess, Reboot.
A few times MS.NetFramework box popped up saying, the pipe or pipeline has been broken (or something).
I Updated all .Net Framework 4 stuff since (not that .Net4 is needed…I think)
Once or twice it was Wacom pen .dll was not found. - (nonsence)
The first (Shark) model was a hefty 16 million polys, and all the above variations of errors/crashes occured, So I tried a simple 4 million poly (Cat) model. The same results maybe even worse crashing results.
I retopologised those sculpts in 3DCoat,Projected All in Zbrush, then UV’d them in 3DCoat later on, So i thought it might be my UV’s, So I applied Zbrushes AUV’s, to no avail, even worse in fact.
Theres the odd 1 or 2 tri’s here and there tucked out of the way but nothing drastic.
My pc is a Sony Vaio VPCF Core i7 Q740 with 4 gig Ram, Windows7 64bit,
its not a wimpy computer.
I expect another 4Gig of Ram would be nice, just to cater for other processes and windows etc, but surely this computer should be able to use MULTIMAP EXPORT without Zbrush freezing, hanging, crashing, and i know how computers can be making us all run out of fresh and expressive expletives from under the sun in no time. (Im not a programmer btw)
If anyone can shed a little light on the subject it would be much appreciated.
I love Zbrush, but not having the option of a fundamental feature such as Multimap Exporter which is supposed to be a one-click-solution is a bit of a kick in the teeth.
The only one button click solution I have found a neccesity thus far with Zbrush’s multimap function is the laptops power button, in order to even start Zbrush back up again so I can repeat the process all over again, and again.
Please help and save me from the dreaded AppHang.B1
I simply do not know what to do.
