zbrush not importing large 16 bit alpha files correctly - resolved

system · December 10, 2011, 10:03am

Hello,

I am trying to import a large 16 bit gray scale image into the alpha pallet. I have been experimenting with it for about an hour now. It seems if I make the image small it will import correctly however if I make it big, like over 1000 pixels square then it does not import properly. It is listed in the alpha pallet but the icon for it is either blank or messed up in a funny way. I also tried importing into the texture pallet with similar results. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Joe

Try setting the Preferences>Performance>PreLoad File Size to maximum.

Wonderful, Marcus! We’ve been fighting this glitch since September and ZB R2. I had high hopes it would get sorted out with this upcoming revision, but your suggestion’s pipped it to the post!

Thank you.
