ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey I was wondering I am trying to make some decent looking renders in zbrush and I cant seem to match the quality I can get with like mental ray .Like I want to do model sheets of a hi res sculpts and if I import to my 3d app and use mental ray the render takes to long .I usualy try to render the normal mapped character and I was wondering if anyone had any good links to setting up some good production style renders in zbrush .Similar to some of the images below .

Both great works btw
