When I try and use the menus at the top of the zbrush window it selects the wrong menu. From left to right up to the Render menu it works ok. After that it select the next but one menu. For example I mouse click on the Stroke menu and the Tools panel show up. The only way to get the Stencil and Stroke menu is to select another menu and slide my mouse across the menus
This is on OSX 10.8
Also for post 96, I also had symmetry tools in a custom UI and they just dissapeared with 4R4
Does anyone know where this has gone, I can’t seem to find it? 
Loving all the new changes.

I cant seem to find the Curve strap and Curve Track preset brush? can someone tell me where to find them or let me know if anyone else having the same issue?
im guessing they should be there as they are mentioned in the new features list…
“NEW PRESET BRUSHES PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ZBRUSH 4R4’S KEY FEATURES: CURVE STRAP, CURVE TRACK, INSERT TYPES AND MORE.”
Also the are Curve Strap brush mentioned and used on the Curve Insert Mesh Basic tutorial video.
Does anyone else have them? or missing like mine?
Pease help
Select the IMM_Curve brush. Press M. You’ll see Strap as one of its choices and a couple different tracks as other choices.
Hey there I am having the same issue. I think…the reason for selecting the menu next to the one you click is because you may have created a custom menu. That’s what I did. I created a menu called “curve mode” everything after curve mode would do the “select next to” thing. Once I changed the name of my custom menu to be at the end of all default menu, everything goes back to normal and I was able to click the menu I wanted to. It’s weird, but hope that helps for now until an actual fix.
For the symmetry tools, I’m experiencing that as well. What I can see is that at launch, without loading any tools on the screen, the symmetry tool are hidden or not activated. Once you place any tool on screen, they pop up. Now what I mean by pop up is they pop up within the transform menu. You can see this happening when you dock transform menu to the side. Load a tool, symmetry functions pop up. Switch to Simple brush tool, symmetry functions turned off or disappears. Simple Brush is a default starting tool, or the 2.5d mode, so maybe there’s a way to start with a 3d tool instead. Not sure, trying things out now.
It’s now within Geometry > Modify Topology:D
I just ran the memory stress test as well and it also failed here. Is that feature busted?
That test was a diagnostic tool during beta. It appears to not be working in the actual release version. Just ignore it.
Thank you
Someone mentioned in the curve insert brush repository thread that using the curve brush removes uv mapping.
Is this the case, or if you map the curve mesh parts in advance, is the uv map retained?
Trying to get a clean usable uv map for a bunch of curve insert mesh parts sounds like a massive headache.
If it does not, can we request a point release feature that does retain the uv mapping?
thx Gareee - ok … busted or a future funct.ion when 64bit is coming to ZB
do you have an issue with Surface>Noise too?

Same issue here
Here are the links in order - I think the _UIStarter_Z4R2_V1.zsc needs an update - so that it works with r4…
here is a visual of what happens

Evidently this used to happen in r3 as well based on the date of the posts on THIS thread…
Do not use that plugin in ZBrush 4R4. I have replied to your other thread with a workaround. Thanks.

do you have an issue with Surface>Noise too?
I checked, and noise is working fine. I have 8 gigs, so I did bump my memory up to 4096, and have already applied a new custom UI. Try the lightbox noise button, and see if that works.
I also can’t find any included curvemesh brushes… weren’t some included in the base z4r4 install? And where are the new curvemesh insert brushes supposed to be instealled? I figured I’d see a folder like the fibermesh presets, but can’t locate any for the new curve insert brushes yet.
I searched, and there really isn’t any current recommended memory setting for zb4 at all anywhere… googling gives you hits from 4 years ago, with only one video with potential recommended settings. I checked, and even though I have 8 gig, my zb4r3 install was still set at 256, when it sounds like I should have bumped it up to 4096 under win7 64 bit.
I’m really not seeing any real bug issues with the latest release at all, other then the minor things (which could be lacking features) I’ve listed here.
I was pretty disappointed when I went looking for the reference view menu as well and couldn’t find it. The new grid system works pretty good… If you have PERFECT views that play nice together. But it’s extremely watered down when compared to the legacy way in R3. I need the old way for everyday production use.
Answer: if you still have R3 installed, you can copy the old Image Plane plugin and data folder, and paste it into the zplugs folder for R4. Working for me so far… You get the old “reference views” and keep the newer grid system.
Hope this helps
I have the same mac OSX and I also get the same error.
Is there anyone that can help?
thanks
I get the same error when trying to download the windows version. I am totally sure that mail-adress and serial number were typed in correctly. After clicking the “Download ZBrush 4R4 Win Edition”-button a new page loads saying:
Not Found
The requested URL /ZBrush4R4/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I tried to dowload on windows and mac and with chrome and safari - always the same problem. I’m a little bit in panic because of only three days left for downloading.
I just ran into a nasty bug in the uvmaster plugin.
To reproduce:
load the cylinder, and make it a polymesh3d
unwrap it with uvmaster with symmetry on
flatten it to check out it has in fact uvmapped it.
unflatten it, turn symmetry off, and then unwrap it again.
The processor goes to 100% use, and zbrush hangs, and never returns.
Can anyone else confirm this?
EDIT: It alooks like zbrush is writing some goz files for it in the startup zplug uvmaster folder.
Can anyone else access the resolution slider in QMesher? I can only use the half/same/double buttons but the slider is greyed out. In the zclassroom videos it is shown to be working so maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Thanks,
M
Hi Zero,
I don’t know what version of Norton you have and it wouldn’t matter but I’m no form of expert on Norton but my version has an icon in the bottom right corner. I right-click on that icon and click ‘disable smart firewall’ and then select ‘until restart’ under duration. Then do the same thing for ‘disable anti-virus Auto-Protect’. Then download the installer, (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU MAY NEED TO DEACTIVATE A PREVIOUS VERSION) install it, activate, then turn Norton back on. I picked ‘until restart’ because I didn’t know how long it would take to download it. Personally I think the whole ‘WS.Reputation.1’ is BS. Just me.
When I use Alt with an insert brush to subtract with dynamesh, the inserted object comes in with its faces flipped
You need to first have masked some part of your mesh or click on automask button first I. Order for the slider show up.
The slider is greyed out when any of the half/same/double options is pressed. Depress the half/same/double options and the slider will be activated.
