I have windows 7 (64) and zbrush 3.5 r3.
It works well for a long time. But 2 or 3 days ago it started crashing without any reasons( like difficult operations like dividing or deformation) .
I was simply sculpting (use move brush) and using traspose tools while it crashed.
It works well for 2-5 minutes but then without any hanging zbrush stoped working.
My model while transeposing is 10 k polies. The whole scene is 16 mil polies. My mem is 4 gb.It allows 15 mil polies for one subtool.
Help me please!
error message “ZBrush Executable has stopped working”
I have scaned my computer.There are no viruses.
What are your Preferences>Mem settings?
Have you tried running a RAM diagnostic utility?
Has anything about your system changed since ZBrush last worked well? Have you made any modifications to ZBrush such as installing new plugins or other ZStartup items?
Mem settings:compact mem-256,doc undo-4,tool undo-4,maxPolyPerMesh- 14.5 mil, Hd preview max poly- 7mil.
I have tried RAM diagnostic utility a month ago it was Ok and other progs like maya work well.
Nothing has changed.
I guess zbrush crashes because of the texture(when it is on).I convert texture in the polypaint and have no problems.
And primitives can sometimes crash zbrush.
I am getting the exact same thing,same message running wondows 7 64…seems to happen with a polymesh 3d and image plane X with texture applied especially when using scale,rotate and move buttons ,total polys in scene is only a few k.
mem 256,dec undo 4, tool undo 4,Max poly mesh 21.6m, Hi def 10m , brand new pc 6 gb ram
Im getting constant crashing in r3, im running windows 7, and its driving my crazy. One tool I load up loads fine, but within 45 seconds I get a message telling me “Zbrush executable has stoped working”
With your RAM you can set Compact Mem to 4096. See if that helps.
Is this only happening with the one model?
i think i solved my problem by applying the texture (reference image on image planeX) subdiving the image planeX and going Polypaint/ ploypaint from texture. it seems to crash only when sculpting and a texture is visible in the Texture Map window (on the right).It didnt seem to crash on xp, all seems ok now ,thanks 
It randomly crashes with all models. Normaly using masking for transpose, sellecting a sub tool, and subtool master for droping all tools to lowest sub d levels. These seem to be areas in which triger nstant cashes.
I have one tool im working on, just out of nowhere it starts crashing like its become corrupt or somhink. I played with this tool till 2am trying to get closer as to whats causing it to crash. In the end I noticed that the teeth of my character are missing from the sub tool list, yet are visable on the model. After deleting each sub tool till only the teeth are shown it crashed. I looked close at the sub tool slider, and after the 50th time iv loaded this particular tool I noticed there is enougth space for the very top sub tool to be hidden. When I slided to the top guess what happend? it crashed every single time without fail, very odd.
Now im getting a huge amount of tools becoming corrupt, they just either wont load, or keep crashing by using masking, transpose, sellecting the top sub tool, or turning the visability off.
Im going to try and load this tool into another computer today, im hopeing in a way its a windows 7 problem, as it would dissopoint me to know my trusted app Zbrush is becoming a unstable tool in my pipeline.
Just tryed it on another computer, this one has Vista 32 on it, same problem, instant crash when moving the sub tool slider to the top.
So this sub tool that was working a few days ago is now corrupt.
So has there been an update on this issue?
Zbrush just started doing the same thing for me.
Usually upon masking during the transpose action.
Am on Vista X64 with 4096 memory assigned.
It only started doing this 2 days ago for me I would like to fix it.
think i get similar bug when i have a merged tool on the canvas with some mask on it then isolated one of the merged children and attempt another mask or hide,not the same issue as above …that was sorted
Again a simple nudge, wondering if there is anything that might fix this?
Computer is clean of malware, more then enough hardware resources for a smooth Zbrush experience. OS on last update etc etc.
No there is nothing to date that will fix this, other than Pixologic finding the bug, and fixing it. I can get Zbrush to crash every time by using the Traspose when using transpose master. Another thing I get often is I run out of memory when making large maps. I get a few warnings, but Zbrush never recovers, it just shuts down.
I have to save often, and more so just before trying to mask when using transpose, or producing maps. I think when this is sorted, and its 64 bit, then its gona make Zbrush much more stable.
Hmm maybe yes.
Thing is, at the moment I’m not sure how I can get my models posed at all without crashing. Though not every model crashes on transposing.
And the strange thing is that it started happening overnight.
Since Zbrush is the only package I own (3D is just a hobby for me) I’m not sure how to get around the bug.
If anyone knows of a workaround it would be apreciated.
same here, it started happen on me just 2 days ago.
using a Cintiq tablet, when i’m rotating the model with Shift key hold down, it crashes randomly. i dunno if it’s the problem of my model or zb. havent got a time to test it on other models
and i got this problem detail from my win 7

It is really hard to deal with crashes like this because all the efforts the artist after weeks of work,goes to the trash with no reason.
Please find a solution for that.
Isn´t any program to change our saved tools in zbrush 3.5 R3 so we can open them in other zbrush version that doesn´t crash?Some kind of conversion to older zbrush?
after couple weeks of retrying and testing… i remodeled one piece of my mesh, since i got the crashes after i imported that piece of obj into the whole file. I cant remember how i model that piece, after i remodel it (close all open edges) , zb just stop crashing on me.
