3D Studio Max has had “Autoback” forever and Zbrush is as guilty of crashing. I am a new user and save often - although it’s late now, I’m a little sleepy and I just lost a half hour of vital work in a crash. I’ve been working around the clock for weeks now and this has happened too many times, whether I have been sleepy or not.
ZBrush does save tools to “Recovered Files” in a “soft” crash (a crash with an alert window) - but the last crash was as hard and as instantaneous as they come. In a split second, a total shutdown and disappearance of ZBrush. And often the Recovered File tools are missing subtools. When working for a large high-paying client on a deadline this kind of stuff is unforgivable IMO.
As I said, I am new to ZBrush, I’ve done a Google search and found nothing in the way of a solution to this nonexistence of autosave. I can’t believe this product has been around as long as it has and doesn’t have it. Really…even Microsoft Word has always had a autosave/file recovery system.
