zbrush freezes/then closes upon mouse click

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

So I’m working on my zbrush project file, everything is fine for the last couple of hours, then zbrush freezes, mouse pointer turns into a loading icon, and zbrush disappears as soon as I click on the window. Now, normally this would be alright since I have quick save on, but it has happened +30 times in just the last hour and I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ve tried optimizing the mesh/check/mesh integrity/fix mesh, but it’s still crashing. This has happened before with my other projects, so it’s not an isolated issue.

spec:

xeon 2.8
12 gb
geforce gtx 550 ti
windows 7 64bit

Anything I can try to get rid of this problem? thx

how much scratch disk space does Z have? How fast is the drive that it is writing to? What are you mem settings at?

#3

Which version of ZBrush are you using?
Also, does it happen randomly or is it on a specific action?
Does it also happen when you are trying to save?

Please, try to provide more information, just it crashes on click isn’t enough to find a solution :slight_smile:

I’m using the latest zbrush, 4r5. The harddrive has more than a terabyte of space. I’m not sure what the speed of the harddrive is, but it’s pretty new. Memory is set on 3k

It happens randomly, and like I said before, when it does happen, it keeps happening over and over every time I open zbrush and start working. I have had a few crashes happen when saving, but mostly it’s when I’m modeling, nothing specific.

the crash is not a normal crash where zbrush saves and exits. It’s more like zbrush just disappears.
