I’m sorry. That screen shot is too small and blurred. I can’t see what I need.
Full resolution would help a lot. And you can upload directly to ZBC rather than hosting someplace else. See http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?161045-How-to-Post-Images-at-ZBrushCentral
is it possible that the 1024 value, mentioned by guti, could be lower, inside ZBrush, than what displayed?
Edit: I figured out what I was asking about micrormesh about using insert brushes etc with micromesh
move elastic lag
i already posted this on -ZBrush-4R2b-Launched!-
anybody else experiencing problems using the “move elastic” brush:qu:
som80
Yes Som80 , terrible lag here …even using the “regular” Move brush with elasticity “on” lags beyond usage.
Hope this will be adressed…

Hiya,
I just wanted to follow up on the post I made yesterday here. I tested it again and I can’t reconcile the behavior vs. the documentation (or common sense).
I know that you guys must be busy with the new release but if this is an issue I think you might want to quash it/update the documentation to avoid confusion. Thanks!

i’m so glad to hear that.
i confirm the move elastic lag.
sometimes it is unusable ed freeze the program!
at about 250,000 - 300,000 points move elastic gets unusable
Lucky you SoM80 , My system jams after 100,000 points! 
Hi! (first post here, wish it didn’t have to be for troubleshooting.)
First off, great update Pixologic! Loving the new features. I have encountered two weird glitches since I have upgraded though 
-The most annoying is that randomly while I’m sculpting, the model will copy itself to the canvas. So I have the 3D model and a flat copy that gets in the way. I have to clear the document/canvas to make it go away. I have never had this problem with previous versions, and I’m not doing anything different either (ie not using any different hotkeys normally beyond ctrl, alt and shift).
-As I’ve seen others report, I have noticed a lag when sculpting, however it appears to only be with the Standard brush for me (that I’ve found).
And advice would be most appreciated. (especially for the top problem). Thanks!

I’m having the same problem on my Mac with the “ZScript Note: Unrecognized Command” error followed by ZBrush crashing.
In trying to figure it out I deactivated ZBrush and copied the original program directory to storage, then deleted and reinstalled ZBrush. I started the program and closed it about 10 times without getting the error again.
I started making some customizations. Nothing major. When I quit and restarted, the error returned. I deleted the customization files in the ZStartup directory and ZBrush opened fine 6-8 times back to back. When I made some simple changes and saved a new configuration file in Preferences, I would start getting the error again. Delete the CustomUserInterface4R2.cfg file and ZBrush would start again with out error (with one exception). So I tried some basic changes in Preferences, storing the UI change and testing by restarting several times. Then I’d move the UI config file out of ZBrush and start again storing a new change. I got the error on all of them, although it was random and not every time program restarted. The UI changes I made included color in the interface colors, using the Multi-threading Optimizer under Preferences > Performance, changing the Pull Down Border setting under Preferences > Interface, assigning a new hot key to the Lightbox button and finally, rearranging a few of the UI items.
The one exception was that I got the error on the first restart after moving the UI config file to test a different setting. There was no config file and I got the error only on the first restart of about 5 or 6 that time.
I don’t know if that helps any. If you want the crash reports from my system or copies of the config files that caused the error or other info, let me know. I included two screen shots. The first is the error and the second is the title bar after I restarted since the shot with the error didn’t have any of the additional info up there. Also, I haven’t opened a Support Ticket yet since I wanted to check the forum first.
Hello, i have problems running the Upgrade… i follow all steps. (deactivate 4R2…and so on. ) But the Upgrade-Installer stop working after a while… (1/4 of the green line:-)) beside the Backup-folder it creates 2 files “_vpC.tmp” (around 61 mb) and “diff_000030.dif” (24mb) the hardrive keeps busy… (light on) but nothing happens… some hints? best regards tijai
Hey, The “Unrecognized command” error at start-up…
Aside from this issue, Zbrush has been working very well…even after many single, several hour work sessions.
It’s just this, 98% repeatable Application launch issue.
I’m well pleased…just a bit annoyed…
Working with Fur has been very pleasing.
I also have found move elastic not usable,and found also another problem
Intuos 3 gives me lag and spot brush strokes(if I do a fast stroke the engine it’s not able to create a continuos stroke but it gives me a series of circle on the path stroke).
What it’s strange is that if I use my intuos 4 the strokes are continuos,and there isn’t any lag(apart the move elastic problem as Som80 )
Since upgrading to R42b, I’ve been having problems with retopo thickness and symmetry. One half will extrude in a positive direction, the other half will do the opposite. I’m creating separate islands, so I’m not sure what happens when creating a single mass. I end up having to delete half, then I use mirror and weld.
I backed up my Zbrush Folder.Deactivated Zbrush 4R2 and ran the 4R2b update. When startingZbrush. a pop up window ‘Zscript Note:’ appeared saying “Unrecognizedcommand.” My only solution was to uninstall and reinstall Zbrush4R2, then run the 4R2b update for the second time. Now Zbrush 4R2bworks. Unfortunately now all the custom brushes, materials, alphasetc. have to be transfered to the new Zbrush install.
Hiya,
I posted about this but no one seems interested so this will be the last I mention it. I am including screen shots of a test I did in ZBrush 4R2B, an outline of the problem, and system specs below. Any clarification/confirmation would be welcome.
PROBLEM: The new Grow Mask and Shrink Mask functions in ZB4R2 were programmed to the wrong buttons. After reading the docs carefully (it is mislabeled Extend instead of Grow BTW) I can’t reconcile their behavior except to say that it looks like they are reversed. NOTE - This isn’t some hotkey mapping issue or custom UI gone wrong, just the actual functions of the buttons being misplaced on your end.
ADDITIONAL: Also, the CTRL+Click and CTRL+ALT+Click commands with masks don’t seem correspond to what the docs say:
The CTRL+Click and CTRL+ALT+Click shortcuts are now assigned to the Extend
and Shrink Mask functions rather than to the Blur and Sharpen Mask functions.
CTRL+Click seems to be setup to Grow Mask (which is really Shrink), but CTRL+ALT+Click seems to still Sharpen Mask.
TEST: A Plane with a mask in the center and single click tests of Blur/Sharpen/Grow/Shrink. I always reverted (using undo) to the original mask. Note the thin line I added to highlight the problem with Shrink/Grow being programmed wrong.
CONCLUSIONS:
SPECS: ZBrush 4R2B, Win 7x64, Quadro 5000, Dual Xeon X5690
Again, any clarification would be welcome. Thanks,

I got a strange canvas artifact on my 4R2b version.
My settings :
Window 7 x64 FR (Aero disabled, theme windows classic)
Ram 16go
nVidia GTX 470
Intel i7 860 (2,8GHz)
zBrush 4R2B (with administrator rights)
How and what is happening ?
Well, I’m simply making a mask on one of my subtool (for achevieng a fibermesh preview mainly) and then an old temp view of the canvas pop in the middle. I say old because I can see that the artifact show an other matcap that I have briefly used a fex minutes ago. During 2 hours of work it’s happen 2/3 times, but very randomly.
The strange thing is that a get something like if I quit the edit mode and redraw the subtool then my canvas show me some superposed subtools. But in this case I never quit the Edit mode, however I can use the shortcut CTRL+N to clean the canvas without quitting the edit mode and then continuing my work like nothing happened.
I never had this problem with the 4R2 version. Only with the 4R2b.
Hi!.
I did all that appears in the video to activate Micromesh but nothing happens, i load to a plane 3d like the Manual expalin but nothing. I charge a sphere and i tried to a apply a helix 3d, cube ,etc…I don´t know what i doing wrong.
Thanks a lot
