I am having system crashes when I try to append an object. I am using Zbrush 3.1 I have made a project and used the extract command to make subtools. I made an object in Cinema 4D that I wanted to use in my project. I exported a wavefront .obj obect in C4D, I then opened it in Zbrush made my adjustments then clicked on make polymesh 3D and saved it as a tool. Now I Load both tools in Zbrush, I draw out the tool and click edit, I then open the subtools pallette and click append and find the tool i just loaded. then nothing appears and the system crashes. I probably tried it 10 times. same result. Can anybody help? What is wrong. I have looked through the tutorials and forums, but cant find much help.
There’s probably something odd about the model. It’s also possible that one or more of your plugins are conflicting. There’s really no way for us to tell you what without a lot more information.
You can do some basic troubleshooting. If you can’t append SubTools with ANY model that you test with, then the problem is probably a plugin. If it’s only these specific models that won’t cooperate, then the problem is probably the models themselves.
By the way, an imported object is already a polymesh by definition. You don’t need to use the MakePolymesh3D button on an imported model.
Thanks for your help, there must have been something wrong with my export in Cinema4D. I downloaded the Riptide plugin and it works fine now.
