ZBrush breaks whenever I try to offset something!

Torabi

ZBrush is really starting to get on my nerves since I have to spend more time fixing it instead of learning it! :poly118:

I am trying to make simple planes to have reference pictures on. When I offset the two planes to create space for the actual model, it looks fine at first but when I rotate the view it all glitches out and the program eventually crashes without an error message.



What is causing this? It is immensely frustrating. It can't be my fault, can it? I mean, it is me sliding a single slider. Am I that terrible at CG?

ive had that happen to me on an older pc with a bad graphics card. usually what it seemed to do was make clones of my document as i rotated, usually clearing the document and redrawing out the tool helped. maybe try that?

Torabi

Doesn't seem to help. I can't seem to find anything about this on google either.

And my hardware is high end so it can't be that.

It's not normal behavior, that's for sure.

Is this an imported plane, or a standard zbrush primitive?

Torabi

Standard ZBrush plane. A guy on another forum told me to just move it manually with the move tool. Guess I can just do that.

You shouldn't have to though. If simple offset deforms are corrupting simple meshes, I would think it is a sign of more serious problems. Is this the latest version, and have to contacted official support yet?

Torabi

I managed to offset with the move tool and it works for now. But yeah I should probably update from ZBrush 4. I'll do that first and if the problem persists then I'll contact them.

Thanks.
