Horrible Jaggies

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey everyone, just working on a piece and I have it at level 8, around 2.5 million polys. For some reason though when I use projection master to add a decoration in the circle recess of the piece I get a horrible jaggedness on it, even though its at a high level of detail of level 8. When I place the decoration in projection master it looks nice and crisp, as soon as I ‘pick up’ that’s when it goes all horrible and jagged. Any advice on getting rid of this would be appreciated! Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Looks like not enoght geometry to me. Can you show a wire frame. It may be thet while you have a lot of geometry in general,. this bit does not have enough. If so, just retopologise this bit.

Thanks for the quick reply Gordon, will defo try that out! Also, do you know anyway for me to create a repeating pattern along a line or curve? I am trying to draw a repeating pattern down the side of a pillar using lazy mouse but its impossible to keep it perfectly straight, or round a corner, is there any good way for doing this? thanks!

also on a mask or alpha like that having a bit off a blend from white to black will help a ton.

#5

try to use on of the stitch brushes, just change the alpha. You can also turn on roll in the stroke menu.

hope that helps.
