BPR Filters Not Working

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Firstly a big HI to everyone, as this is my first post.
I am an absolute zbrush noob, only been in the app for two days.

I am having major problems trying to get the BPR Filters to work.
Problem being they dont work at all.
I watched in the Pixologic tutorial how the effects are applied and adjusted in real time.
When I try and add filters and adjust them NOTHING happens.

I am sure I am missing something really straight forward.
Like a button I need to click, which just makes it all the more frustrating.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks
Abev

You have to do a BPR render before you can start using BPR Filters. Remember that rotating the view or clicking on the canvas after a BPR render will cancel the render.

A BPR render is just clicking on the BEST button which is next to PREVIEW right?
cos that’s what I’m doing.

That’s why you’re having trouble. That’s a Best render, which was the best available before BPR.

BPR is found in Render >> BPR RenderPass. It’s also the top button on the shelf to the right of the canvas. (It says BPR on it.)

This render option is grayed out unless you have a model in Edit mode. It’s designed specifically for rendering a polygonal model rather than canvas pixols. And as you can see from the modifiers in its sub-palette, it also allows you to output various render passes for compositing in Photoshop if you wish.
