Only 3 hours left , can someone help with zbrush prob

Shadowplay

Hi i spent the entire day texturing a model in zbrush using spotlight, then it crashed and now all the files i had saved with spotlight on them crash my zbrush instantly. Can anyone please help im running out of time for the brawl contest

None of the files i had with spotlight on them will open anymore

if its looking for the textures for spotlight, and maybe crashing your system from memory load, try moving the image files elsewhere before opening? Total shot in the dark guess.

tried loading the textures first, still crashing, sigh, contests over but 9 hours of work are gone

Um, what I meant, was move the texture files to a folder it wont look into, then try opening your zbrush files to see if it'll just skip trying to find the textures you had linked to lightbox.

Didnt work, matter fact i even opened an older file, quickly threw a small texture on it with spotlight and tried to open that again and it crashed

I know you probably did this... but have you rebooted your machine?

I think its another case of having too low ram ( 3 gigs) the textured models are all around 300+ megs which may just be crashing zbrush
