Questions & Troubleshooting for ZBrush 4R5

Woo hoo, thanks!!! Got it. Just tried it with Paint Shop Pro, made sure i had the right layer and spray painted, saved file. Back to ZBrush, it displays but when dialog is clicked to pick up, paint disappears. It’s not working for me the way it should be.

Zapplink works Perfectly!! Thanks again Pixologic !! :slight_smile: :+1:

it still does not work on osx lion

Thanks, Mealea… I’m managing to run on XP (yes i know it isn’t supported) and it will work if I’m cautious with my system resources, memory, etc.

This is very helpful = :+1:

The latest zapplink still does not work for me either, I get farther than I used to get but once the image gets into PS CS5.1 64 bit, it hangs for a minute and then crashes PS all together. I am never able to paint on a layer.

Here is a video showing this happening. I have tried restarting my computer and doing everything else I can think of to get it to work, nothing seems to work.

Mine works, maybe last nights object was a zombie…

Glad to have Zapplink working again. Well almost working 100%. I can get the views working properly but I cannot store these views via the command. It throws up an error message. Any idea how to fix it? I’m on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

Im getting the Missing “ProjectionMaster.txt” error – any tips?

Same crash for me on my home PC as well with PS CS6 x64 (13.0.1)

EDIT

I just found that if I have Zapplink Views saved and I also have the “Zapplink Views” button pressed then Zapplink works perfectly fine. But it is only when “Zapplink Views” is pressed that it works. If it is unpressed then PS crashes instantly.

Hi all,
I am experiencing an issue Z4R5 when using spotlight. Texture loads fine but when I hit “z” to go and paint texture on object, Zbrush crashes, always. This happens no matter what texture is used. Is anyone else experiencing this Issue? And anyone found a solution? Zsupport had me reinstall and all but still not fixing “this” issue. Thanks.

On a:
Mac Pro
OSX10.6.8
16 GB RAM

ZBrush 4R5 has got to be the most crash happy version that I have ever used. I think I would rather see improved stability than new features added in the next update.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but at work here they said we are using a Floating License and can’t upgrade?
Anyone know about this?

Thanks

The information regarding floating licenses is here: https://support.pixologic.com/index.php?/Troubleshooter/Step/View/2

You should direct your IT manager to that page. Depending on what they want to do, they might upgrade you to 4R5 now and then update in the next few weeks or they may wait for the updated version before upgrading you to 4R5. But either way it needs to go through your IT manager.

Aurick,

Are you inferring that there will be another update to 4r5 in the coming weeks?

I agree.

Hey out there, is this program stable? I am experiencing crashing all the time and all sorts of frustrating things. Anyone out there experiencing this? Thanks.

If you have stability issues, please open a ticket at our support center (https://support.pixologic.com). It’s the best way to solve your issues or helping us to fix potential problems :slight_smile:
Thank you!

Hey guys… I am posting again to see if ANYONE has had this issue with Zbrush exporting an obj and not completely sending it as the first export… I have had to export my model twice… overwriting it just creates a new version of it… but look at the file size. And the timing… here are my system specs

WIndows 8 Pro 64
12GB DDR3 RAM
nVidia GTX570

Below is a screenshot of what is happening… it is also seemingly breaking Transpose Master, and GoZ for XSI…

This version is REALLY unstable, especially on high detail work on my system and if I lower or raise subdivision levels at all. I was lot happier with Zbrush 4 R4, especially in terms of just not worrying about QuickSave causing bugs/issues with my mesh and actually necessitating a shutdown and losing work (undo not clearing the bugs introduced), I think I lost more time by trying to upgrade and learn the new features than I would have just getting by with the older one…

i’m using lately Zbrush 4R5 and it crashes frequently after few minutes, what’s wrong it was not unstable like that, the 4R4 was great no crashes at all !

Please fix this unknown big issue !!!
