The new head will match the new big Canvas size we just set in the Document menu, and it will be much smoother.Ĥ. We’ll replace it with a fresh identical one. The head will now look terribly jaggy, as we can see here…īut don’t worry, as we’re going to delete this horrid head. It means the “Pro-portions” of the Canvas are locked together). ( Incidentally if you were wondering what the orange “Pro” button here is, it doesn’t mean you’re on “Professional” settings. You can go up to 8k on the Canvas, but if you do ZBrush becomes very sluggish and unresponsive. The second time will trigger a Windows alert. To do this go to: Top Menu | Document | Double.ģ. Thus there is a vital need to first set up a large Canvas. NPR filter effects, such as hatching and line-art, are no use if there’s no powerful anti-aliasing going on, and also if the final render size we get is puny. Now we need to force ZBrush to use full maximum-strength anti-aliasing on a big canvas. Wait for this to finish loading before continuing.Ģ. Then after a few moments a little text message will appear in the upper left, saying that the project is loading. We see a flickering old floppy-disk icon appear. Double-click on the head’s preview icon, to load it. Pick a good choice for a NPR test, such as the obvious default “Demo Head”. You will then be asked to pick a preset project from the Library. Firstly, don’t even try to understand ZBrush’s baffling and non-standard user interface, unless you’re willing to spend at least a day just watching tutorials on it. I’m not an expert, just a fellow total newbie who carefully worked out what the workflow is supposed to be.ġ. Thus much of this first tutorial shows how to wrestle ZBrush into a setup suited to NPR destined for the pages of a comic or magazine. This tutorial uses the only method I found that worked in ZBrush 2019 that gives proper anti-aliasing on a large canvas - without which NPR filters are useless. Zbrush_NPR_Rendering_Tutorial_(BPR_Filter)_by_Brad_Myers.This is a tutorial for complete and utter beginners with ZBrush, who just want to test the exciting new NPR features in ZBrush 2019. You can download the bpr settings file, the materials I used and even the background gradient which I explain how to setup.Įverything you need and need to know is right here to make renders just like this yourself. Images include settings for materials, rendering, light, and of course bpr filter settings (all 12 of them covered in depth). The long awaited BPR filter settings files are finally here! 😀 I have been asked a bunch for these but I felt like it wouldn’t be nearly as useful just having those settings verses understanding the whole process, which is why I made this 35 min video tutorial which covers everything! There are images showing default values and my modified values side by side, and an explanation for each setting for quick reference.
