Zbrush subdiv problem

Ericoscarj

So I have been making my first character in Zbrush now, so this question might be noobish but still.
I was making a character from Zsphere and everything was fine with the geometry subdevisions. But when I finished sculpting, I decided to add eyes to my character through Sub Tools, and when everything was perfect I merged all the tools.

And after that, somehow I could not change between Subdiv Levels in Geometry.
I read somewhere that you could "Reconstruct the subdiv", but when I did that it just gave me a an error:
"Reconstruction result: Unable to reconstruct lower subdiv-leve. operation cancelled."

So after that i tried to ungroup the entire tool, so i could delete the eyes. And then merge everything again. But then it complained about my RAM.

So is there any way to make new subdiv levels? or just highpoly mesh to low poly mesh.

please help

Try creating automatic polygroups, which should throw the eyes into their own group. You can then try either hiding them and hitting Del Hidden, or hide them and hit the Make Polymesh 3D button (although I don't think that would preserve any UVs if the tool has them).

If i do that it complains about my RAM is too low.

Then I think you need more RAM. How much do you have?

I have 8gig. But the mesh is around 13mil polygons. I dont know if its too much?

Solved it, with a plugin named Decimation Master.

Why exactly do you need the tools merged?
