Tired of shooting verts

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all…getting really annoyed with zbrush now, I load a model that I’ve been working on, I sculpt a bit, rotate it and then verts just shoot out into the distance.
SO F£*$?IN ANNOYING…can’t sculpt for than a couple of mins at a time, so u get no flow going over the model!

I’ve tried the solutions here and I cant smooth the verts back into the model cos when i press scale to fully zoom out to see the culprit verts zbrush crashes.

I’m runnin vista 64 with 8gb ram…can any1 help me b4 I pull out a shotgun and blow my pc away…or worse…arggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

Thx

Sonder!

your model is likely too large, check the Tool: Preview window, if your model isn’t in there or doesn’t fit then that is most likely the culprit, Try a Unify, which will center your model and size it down.
also make sure to hit the clear mask button even if you don’t think there is one.

looks like you have a tiny mask in those areas not being pulled.

tool>masking>clear

if that isn’t the case then it is a scale issue most likely.
check
tool>preview
the model should fit within this window.
if it doesn’t, then you will need to unify the model
tool>deformations>unify
to make the scale of it work best with Zbrush.

if you have multiple subtools then use the plugin
TposeMaster
make the Tpose mesh, unify that mesh, and hit the other button in TposeMaster.

Hope that helps

Thx fellas for the replies I did what u said…and the preview seems fine, I dont think the model is too large, but there was a mask on like u said and i have cleared it and it seems to be running a lot better.
Having said that it almost happened again but I was able to zoom out using the scale button and fix the issue with zbrush crashing…I have also been able to sculpt for much longer periods of time.

So for the time being that seems to hav solved the issue.
I’ll post back if theres any changes, thx again!
