ZBrush Usage Questions

Hi folks,

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I may have found the answer. I know Aurick mentioned this early on, but I got hold of a copy of diskeeper, ran it and basically my C drive was fragmented to a dangerous level. Also the MFT was at a ‘danger’ level (which cant be good)

So I defragged last night, reinstalled Z-b… Defragged again (to be on the safe side) and not only has the boot up window for Z-b halved in time, but when I sub-divide, it seems to take half (again) the time to do it. This has to be a good sign, right? :smiley: :smiley:

Keep your fingers crossed for me and I’ll get back to you later and give you (hopefully) the good news. I’m really excited, but kind or, you know…nervous!

Nope. I spoke to soon.

To give you an idea of exactly how bad my version of 3.1 is… look at this screen capture.

  1. Open Z-brush
    2)Open sphere tool
    3)change axis
    4)crash.

See how the tool distorts in the preview window?

Looks like I’ll be stuck in Zbrush 3 for ever then now, lets just hope 4 works better for me when its released.
