Hey Everyone, I’m relatively new to Zbrush but have lurked on the forums for a while . I can’t begin to tell you guys how impressive your work is , it has inspired me to learn and hopefully post my stuff one day . I’m an illustrator trying my hand at this Zbrush thing and I’m working on a project that will be printed on a billboard . I try exporting my model to a PSD file and the file has so many “jaggies” I would have to then rework all the edges to get a decent final image i can give my client.
I only have the standard software for 2D artists and was wondering does anyone have an opinion how I could render this thing at a high enough resolution that would be suitable for printing at such a large size?
Time is certainly not on my side, and since I’m new to Zbrush I would appreciate any help if anyone knows of a step by step tutorial .
Again you guys are incredible , and I’ve learned tons but have a long way to go.
Thanks for any feedback on this. I’m trying to figure out how to post a jpeg.
as soon as I figure it out I will show you what I’m working on.
for rendering clean image from brush,you need to tweak render settings…you can check out the scottpatton,s tutorial on character creation in which he was only using zbrush and photoshop for getting great rendered image

you need to get different rendered images and you can combine all in photoshop .you can smooth edges seperately at last.

hope you likes it.i am new to this field and have no enough knowledge,but i hope this help you.
I will look into that I’ve tried doubling up the image size and using anti alias but still get the annoying jagged egdes on the finish. My timeline is coming to a close so I’m getting a bit stressed with these results. I’m a rookie 3D guy so I assumed there might be a rendering option within Zbrush that would give similiar results as I’ve seen in many many posts here. I realize that Maya has plugins that take the final render to unbelievable smooth finish but I don’t own Maya. I would purchase a stand alone rendering software but have no idea which is best. I run a mac , snow leopard quad core by the way.
I appreciate your help mohamed, i definitely need a step by step here.
Your art looks great!
hai friend,i had found a new solution for getting high qaulity images from zbrush.method is simple.when you export document,export in very high resolution(3200*2400 i prefer)and you can copy the image to a low resolution in photoshop.this will surely get rid of jagged ends.i found this solution and remembered you.thanks.what resolution you want to be your final image.make three time larger document.hope this helps you…
