Some issue with ZBR files

Hello,

I am new to ZBrush and I have some trouble with ZBR files.

I have imported some OBJ file in ZBrush and I saved it in the ZBR format.

The issue is that when I reopen the ZBR file, I can’t select the mesh and I am unable to continue my work or even to re-export the mesh as an obj file.

I must miss something.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much…

The .ZBR format is a 2.5D representation of the canvas. That’s why it’s saved from the Document palette, which handles all things canvas-related.

To save a model in 3D format for later editing you need to use Tool>Save As. This saves the file as a .ZTL file.

Have you watched the Getting Started videos in the ZClassroom? If not, I strongly recommend them. See my signature.

Thank you very much for your answer. I discover ZBrush and I had not watched the video. I will go to watch it now.

I understand why the file was no longer editable… :rolleyes: I will save my meshes as tools. I see that I have a lot of things to learn.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. It is a nice welcome for me because I registered today.

I was not sure if my question had been posted because I was not seeing it in the forum…

Thank you again.
