Zbrush Abnormal Termination

Blouko

Hello,

Yesterday I asked how I could do a ZRemesher without loosing detail, I thought the bad topology was the reason for the crash of my ZBrush project. It was not.

Here's my issue: Everytime I append a new subtool and penetrate an already existing subtool, ZBrush crashes with error 'Abnormal Termination' or completely freezes on me. 

If anyone has an idea on how it could be fixed, please do share.

Thank you in advance,
Blouko

Waddaya mean by penetrate? What version of ZB? Copy the subtool and remesh it. then project the remesh over the original tool normally works, if that is what you are doing.

I use version 4R8 P2, and I meant when the objects interact with each other. I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem anymore, it seems to crash or freeze evsn though they do not enter one another. Also, I've tried remeshing another subtool and projecting it, it didn't seem to fix my issue, I thought it would though.

Im hoping someone chimes in. Could be a corrupt tool or project. You could send the  tool to pixologic, or maybe export it out as an object then reimport it into a fresh ZB scene and try reconstruct subdivide, or copy it, remesh and project.

I'll try the export/import method, that might help. Thanks a bunch for the tips.
