Zproject lost ?

Well … what happened here?
I can not open a project, I have worked in over a month but now I can not open.
It’s weird, I dont have created maps or textures of any kind.
Other projects open properly but I’m working on not.
I lost my job?
I have w 7 64, zb 4r42, 4gb.

Some help ?

you should move this into the other questions and trouble shooting forum.

To help with your problem.
how big is your .zpr?
have you been working in iterative files?
how much free disk space is on your HDD for the scratch?
have you contacted support as suggested by your error message?

To help with your problem.

how big is your .zpr? 740 mb

have you been working in iterative files? no

how much free disk space is on your HDD for the scratch? 65 gb

have you contacted support as suggested by your error message? i tried but…you know…

a 700mb file should open.
To better understand what I am meaning by how much space is free for scratch disk, what percentage of your SDD or HDD is open? You should always have a minimum of 15% open to programs for scratch disk. If you’re at that bare minimum you’ll want to make sure only one program is using that space and that it is dumping its cache when it closes…photoshop is notorious for just eating space and never flushing the cache.

Can you upload the file for someone else to see if they can open the file?

You should always work in iterative saves. I believe Marcus wrote a script that adds an iterative number to the end of a file every time you hit save…but I’m not sure if this was updated to incorporate .zpr file extentions.

I’ve opened the same project with a size of 850 mb smoothly, but after removing pieces i save him and dropped to 750 mb, from that moment I could not open it.
I do not use another program when Zbrush is working, only use portable version of Photoshop and outside ZB.
Something has happened because I have a less evolved back that opens smoothly.
I have not used spotlight, no textures, just ZB modeling.
I think something has happened with the program when saving the project.
Viewing the messages that the program gives me it seems that the file has become corrupt because it explains the reasons that prevent opening.

Just noticed (maybe a typo)? Doesn’t look like you’re using ZBrush 4R4 P2. Always a good idea to save under a new name (every so often…15 minutes?) while working so you can go back, just in case. Sorry for your problem.
