Zbrush file open help

Hi,

I have a very urgent issue…I’ve been working with a very hi poly count in Zbrush 4. My file I saved is 4gigs and now I can’t open it.

Is there some way for me to change my memory settings so I can open this file?

I really, really need to get this file open and delete some subdivsions and save it back out.

I have a 16gigs of RAM so I’m not sure what the problem is. I just get an error when I try to open it.

Could someone here try opening it?

Hey there,

I don’t really have an answer, but I’ve seen quite a few mentions (such as here) of the file becoming corrupt and/or the size ballooning to 4GB. The culprit was suspected to be related to layers or combining them with morph targets. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a work around, just preventative measures (saving often and with different file iterations, keeping the layers low and if possible, removing any morph target data when it is no longer needed).

I figured that might be the case. Thanks for the reply.
