Hey All,

I am an unfrozen caveman digital artist that knows just enough to be dangerous. In building a machine over the weekend I deleted my old C: drive. I have used PhotoRec to AMAZINGLY recover my Photoshop and .jpg files but what I can't figure out how to do is create signature files for my lost Zbrush files.

Would anyone point me in the right direction as to make a signature file for the .ZPR format. Maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived (and likely due to of my lack of technical prowess) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to generate the signature.

Thank you!!

If necessary, send me some files sample by email

You are too kind. PM sent.

That is, unless you would prefer I email it to you, rather than provide google drive link...

I have uploaded a new 7.1-WIP version. Can you try it ?
Note that recovered .zpr files may be larger than original. Avoid to disable other filetypes to reduce the problem.

I will try to give it a go tonight, after work. Otherwise this weekend at the latest.

Success! I have recovered 539 files with 2 hours to go.

There were a few files that threw error messages and crashed Zbrush, but they appear to be in the minority. Perhaps they are files that were of file format versions that I didn't provide you. I can investigate further for other file versions, if that is indeed the issue.

I can't believe this worked as well as it did. Thank you very much!
