About the Depht cue:

Hello all! :slight_smile: :wink:

Just a point of “view” about this part of the renderer of ZBrush.

What do you think about this fonctionality?
Do you think it works well?

My opinion is that the depht cue doesn’t work enought in large pictures.
The result is better in small picts why?

Let me know your opinion about this. :slight_smile:

Suis trop basic, je savais même pas que cela existait :wink:
Hélas pas d’idée sur la question :rolleyes:
Mais le Pixo team va surement y remédier :cool:
Have fun!

Hi Olivier,
i have some problem on this too…
but if you post an example maybe someone can help you. :wink:

I rarely use the Depth Cue rendering functionality myself (it doesn’t give me the results I desire). Instead I usually resort to exporting and importing the final render and bluring it by hand.

It also helps to increase the “blur size” value in the anti-aliasing menu of the render pallette to increase the intensity of the depth cue.

Sorry, I missed this post before. :frowning:

In adddition to WingedOne’s advice you can get an unlimited amount of blur by rendering a specific way.

If your project allows it, merge all the layers and do a best render without the Depth Cue enabled, bake that render. Now you have the benefit of being able to test the depth cue many, many times and get it just right as it will render very fast with the baked layer. If you want a stronger Depth Cue just bake each Best Render(needed to see the Depth Cue). And Best Render once again.

If you want a one pass render the best you can do is set Render :small_orange_diamond:Depth Cue :small_orange_diamond:Softness to its max and Render :small_orange_diamond:Antialiasing :small_orange_diamond:Size to its max. Render :small_orange_diamond:Antialiasing :small_orange_diamond:Super Sample will also help but will blur everything.
