Help!! Render View in ZBrush (solved)

[system]

This has been troubling me for two days and I am seriously surprised how such a simple thing is so hard to figure out.

While Exporting a render or document from ZBrush, I dont get what I see in the View port. Its way too small. I understand Zbrush works differently from Maya but trying to get a closer render means setting up a zoom on the character I am trying to render and eyeballing export after export. I know about Antialiased half size, and I tried doubling my image, but I am looking to do a 4K render and doubling the document to 8K my computer just cannot handle!

Anyone facing similar problems out there?

Could you show a screen shot of your ZBrush window, and also a picture of the render that you export? That will help identify what the issue is.

Also, in ZBrush 4 you do not need AA Half. Instead, create your document at 4K and then use the Best Preview Render. This does very nice antialiasing by default.

Attached are screenshots. On left is what I am trying to export from ZBrush, what I get is on the right. Way too small! Unless I zoom/scale in to the document right up to the ribcage in ZBrush, I cant get it to export the character at the size I want. ( Character images hidden cuz of IP rights)

The problem is simple. You’ve sized your canvas large enough, but your zoom level only shows a small portion of the canvas within ZBrush.

Use the Zoom palette to zoom out so that you can see the whole canvas. Then draw the model to fill the canvas. The quality will not be good when viewed zoomed out like that but if you then return to 100% you’ll see that everything actually does look great.

Do a Best Preview Render, then use Document>Export.

DUHHHH!!!

Thank you so much! What I have always been doing is opening ZBrush, loading a tool, then just touch my pen slightly on the canvas to draw the tool on to the canvas - drawing it really small. Then hitting F to “center” on the tool. Now I know This does not fill the canvas with the tool just zooms in on it! I have never really done any rendering before so never found out! haha. Thanks again Aurick!
