Hi !
I am a new user here and have a question. Maybe somebody could help me.
I want to set the imagesize high as I have a DIN A3 document with 300 DPI for printing. I cannot set the size high enoug.- only to 4000 Pixel.

The simplest way is to resize your ZB document to 4096 x 2896 pixels before you start. This will give you 420 mm x 297 mm at 247ppi. That’s probably enough for most printing but if you want the extra pixels you can increase the ppi in Photoshop. Although that’s using interpolation it will still yield satisfactory results.
Alternatively you can render you image in ZB in bits and then composite them in Photoshop. This will enable you to work at a great resolution. Meats Meier uses this technique in this thread.

Hi Marcus
Thank you for the response!
I will try that. But, if I wan`t to make a Illustration in DIN A 1.
-is that impossible to do it zbrush? - I need this is only for 2D.
No render or Alpha Channels.

Hi Michael,
The maximum ZB document size is 4096 x 4096 pixels. So if you want to do an image for print, anything over about 340 mm square is going to need some sort of work around. Having said that it really depends on what the final print is for. Photoshop will resample an image quite satisfactorily up by about a third. If the image is for viewing from a distance (like a poster) maybe more.
For the best quality though, if your end picture is larger than A3, you’re going to have to use the compositing method and plan things pretty carefully. You’ll have to work out a method to suit the type of work you do but, broadly speaking, you could probably do the background as a single ZB document, scaling in PS, and then work on the foreground stuff at the resolution you need.
Cheers,
Marcus
If you need to take the multiple-document approach, bear in mind that you can save your lights using the inventory control at the top of the Light palette. They can then be applied to the other documents in order to maintain a consistent appearance, making compositing easier.
Thanks again.- I will try the next days.
Greets!
