I was watching tutorials in zclassroom and I realize that preview in that tutorial looks pretty awesome. Shadows are good i think there is some blur or dof, contrast is nice, i mean its a good preview. what is the preview render settings for this?
here is that tutorial, screenshot from chapter 3.

Jeff Feligno is an active user of this forum, you can try to ask him the material used in the videos 
it is good, and what is his nickname in this forum?
thnx a lot
interesting because he says he used default lighting with default red wax material in 3,5.
but as you can see there is a huge difference:
and it seems pretty cool

Here’s a bonus tip: If you don’t want a specific image to create a thumbnail in the bottom row, change the ATT and /ATT to ATN and /ATN. ZBC will skip over any images with that tag, looking for the first image in a post that has the ATT tag instead. You can control which image will create a thumbnail simply by changing any images before your desired one. You can ignore the images that come after, since ZBC will only create a thumbnail for the first image with an ATT tag.
Hi Zber!!! Its nice to see you back!
About that color and shading difference I see something like that when I use the BEST button with most everything turned on in the render pallet rather then using the BPR button with all or nothing on…
I don’t know why BPR and BEST are so different, or what the point of the difference is but it can be quite dramatic. I usually use BEST unless I want good anti-aliasing. Most likely I’m doing something wrong but I’m honestly not looking it up as I don’t know what to search for.
Cheers!
yea, but this is not a BEST or BPR render (i think), he is sculpting with this quality. you can see if you see that tutorial that i gave link
hmmm…
you are right, and also his background looks greenish, is that maybe from the process of making a video?
If that is standard red wax then something else is different… and sort of cool…
EDIT >>—> looked at more of his stuff I think but Im baffled, no clue!
I think you can easilly get that effect but opening the render settings and playing with the adjustments of brightness/contrast and color channels. I don’t know how he did it, but that was how I’ve reproduced it. P.S. you don’t have to render it, just adjust the settings and they will read in the viewport. Another way comes to mind is editing the matcap, and changing the background to green
yea i played some birg/contrast settngs but nah, i cant still get that cool effect.
I asked with same screenshot, now waiting for answer from him, somethings is different but what
Very interesting question! I’ll be so excited to know how he achieved this feel too. I’m hopping the Zbrush group will respond to this.
He has a green background, that’s something you can set easily. I also think that there isn’t DOF, I think it’s just the compression on the video making those undetailed parts blurred.
Regarding the lighting/material, I am interested too. It looks great.
I didn’t do any tricks here and it was made in Zbrush 3.5
Gordon Robb is correct in that I changed my background color to a flat greenish color (easy on the eyes) and the video has some compression which seems to have made it darker.
In some parts of the vid I use DJGrubbyGreen material which is available in the Zbrush download area.
That’s it . . . no fireworks . . .
