rendering turntable in Zbrush (and alfa channel render)

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I am working on my demo reel.

I am trying to render a turn table image sequence. The idea is to take it into compositing software afterwards. I am using 4r4. Turntable option in my ‘movie’ menu does not give me an option to render image sequince, only movie in a .mov format.

Also there is no option to render alfa mask. ( I need it to put a background in a compositing software!!!)

I saw on youTube there was a Zbrush TurnTable Plus button (plug in maybe) under the movie menu in older versions, but I do not have it.

Is there any way to render a turn table image sequence?

Thanks in advance!

Zbrush doesn’t export out any other file type beyond .mov
If you would like a png sequence change your output type from .h264 and change that to PNG. This will still be a .mov file but you can take it into your compositing software and render out individual frames into a sequence if you so choose.

In order to tell you how to get a proper alpha channel out of we need more information about how you are rendering.
BPR?
Default?
lighting?
Background?
Shadows?
Floor Shadows?
etc.

Thank you, I will consider this!

Also I have found a download for TurnTable Plus here

As for the alfa I am interested in a simple default render.

A slightly newer version of Turntable Plus is here (the 4R3 version should be good in 4R4):
