While it would crash every now and then it was nothing like it is now.Pixologic have released version 2020.1 of their long running sculpting application ZBrush. It used to be way bigger and the last version of Zbrush seemed to be able to handle it just fine. The main tool in project I’m currently working on is 76 million points with some subtools in the 5million point range. Really hoping someone has some suggestions. I’m pretty sure last version I could go into the prefs and make sure it was maxed out (I haver a ton of RAM). It’s essentially impossible to work in the full project.Īt first I figured it might be a RAM allocation issue in Zbrush but I couldn’t find any way to adjust that in the new version.

trying to add hair and accessories on a low poly version of the head in a separate, brand new tool, meanwhile with all the other tools present in the project, I get mega crashes. If I were to use the exact same method in the full project ie. For example I’ll save out a low poly version of the head, import it into a brand new empty project and create all the hair and accessories on it and then reimport the hair and accessories back into the full build. My only recourse has been to make multiple instances of the project for each part I’m working on. It felt like it could handle anything I threw at it.

I’m pretty sure the last version of Zbrush didn’t crash as much. It seems like the newest version of Zbrush crashes a lot (like 10-20 times in a session) if I’m working on a project with a lot of heavy tools and subtools in it. I poked around the forum and couldn’t fined anyone with a similar problem.
