I second that.

I like Zbrush so far, but it’s frustrating that Projection Master isn’t working at all and that there is no ETA when this will be fixed ,or any further words about that issue.
Regarding to Pixologic’s blog, this is known since December last year at least.

Feeling a bit forsaken here :frowning:

thanks you i also fix that.thanks a lot for comment.:wink:

I’ve researched and can’t find any fix. Sorry if this is a no-brainer… With the upgrade to 4R5 PaintStop won’t load. Get this message about a PaintStop_4_11Win.txt script:

Thanks…

What is your OS?

Can you show a screenshot of Windows Explorer with your ZStartup/ZPlugs folder open so I can see the contents please?

Thanks

Thanks for the questions…

OS is Win7 Pro

Here’s a screen shot of the ZPlugs folder:

Thanks again!

markisSBG : you have several time the same plugin (.zsc files) then ZBrush is trying to load them at the same time, creating several issues.

Simply remove (or backup) the :

  • adjustDFZsize_4.zsc (and keep the 4.5)
  • imageplane_4_16.zsc (and keep the 4_19)
  • paintstop_4_11Win.zsc (and keep the 4_12)
  • SubToolMaster_4_05.zsc (and keep the 4_07)
  • TransposeMaster_4_12.zsc (and keep the 4R5_01)

Each time you do an update of a plugin, you must remove the old one.

I hope it will help!

A big “Thank You” to everyone for the help! Totyo, removing those file worked great. Thanks again!

Greetings,

I need a little help. I created a custom palette (successfully) and saved the config, but then I noticed that my geometry palette disappeared. I can get it back – if I restore the original config, but that means loosing all the special tweaks and changes I’ve made to the interface over the last 8 months. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to reopen – reinstall – the geometry palette? Hopefully there is.

Thanks

No tool=no geometry…if it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t show up. I’ve struggled with this. The menus are context sensitive.

I thought this might be the case, but unfortunately no. I have a tool. In fact I quit, restarted and added a tool, even appended it, and still no geometry and all the selections below like deformations. All are missing. Completely gone. If there’s any chance that there is something I can do to an outer folder, for example, please let me know. This is totally befuddling. Help!!

How can i translate tris to quads in Zbrush 4R5 ?, is it even posible?, or any option that might work, without third party software?

Sculptris Alpha 6 / GoZ / Zbrush 4R5

441450 triangles

The importation, was increadibly good, some smooth makes it look great.

HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN POST BY THE WAY ?

Im totally first timer on this posting stuff and Sculptris Zbrush WORLD, HeLp !

Subdividing is the simplest way to turn tris to quads, though it probably wont do you a lot of good (especially with the kind of topology sculptris spits out).

There are still several options though. Qremesh and dynamesh for example would both do it with a click of a button, giving you a mesh that is either pure quads are close enough. Run either of those on a duplicate version of the sculpt, and you can also transfer the details to the new mesh.

I figured out how to solve my problem. I simply deleted and trashed my old config file and reopened ZBush which automatically made a new config file on its own–that contained all my tweaks, only this time all is good and working properly.
I may not have said it recently, but I love ZBrush. I have encountered a few awesome programs in my time, and ZBrush ranks right up there with the very best. There are so many awesome features and empowering capabilities that I often marvel at how unusually powerful ZBrush is. IMHO…just have to say Thanks!

Hey!
I’m new to the ZBrush community. I’m actully using mudbox. :slight_smile:

I have been watching this tutorial on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyoMb83kI2Y

and around 22:20 he changes to alpha 6 on his clay buildup brush. I was just wondering if it’s possible to download the alphas from Zbrush to mudbox? I need that alpha 6 :)’

Cheers!

I’m having a slight problem where my sculpt disappears after I switch out to a different window to do something and then come back in to ZBrush. To get it back I have to rotate the area where it was. Is this a new feature to 4R5 or is this a tech issue that I need to have fixed?

This can happen when zbrush autosaves. You can either lock the view with zapplink or timeline if you require it, or increase the quicksave rest duration under Preferences: Quicksave

I know exactly what you say and there maybe one of these which at the end doesnt matter. (it happens exactly the same to me).

1* usage of the pad sometimes delays and may think is still on the program just few second while you are allready watching other screen, Zbrush haves the ability to become transparent. / i love to use the pad on the laptop, heres where i do my stuff.

2* 64 bit thing and or low video or ram.

3* the see through feature. / i think is freaking awesome if thats the price to be payed.

4* the way you have your configuration of polycount limit, becasue you will allways get the best, the fastest, quality view, but going low on configuration,so its kind of a contradiction. (i hope this make sense)

I usually just hit FRAME BUTTON and problem solved, at least you know everything is the way it was.
Also noticed that by changing Zbrush interface transparency from 1 to 100, kind of slaps the interface and rotation doesnt happens in short times and sometimes stops for days.

I hope this to be some how usefull.

As I have seen others describe in the forum, I have a consistently repro’d AV when using the Surface palette to apply noise.

I don’t exactly need support for the issue, because I can work around the issue and don’t have any need anytime soon for the feature anyway. (I’m new, learning, and this is a hobby for fun in my spare time.) But as it is very consistent for me, and I have seen others talk about it, I wanted to see if there is a way for customers to help with crashes like this by providing Pixologic repro information and memory dumps.

From a really quick glance at it, there is something that sticks out right away (bold/red emphasis below is mine)…

Is there any place to upload a dump file and provide repro steps?
