ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

So heres the stroy and I really dont understant how there is no information on the net about this as i cant imagine im the only one.

Crutial info. Im running a 3 monitor setup and by 3 I mean 2 plus a cintiq 13 hd. I have a 24", a 28" and the cintiq all running at 1920x1080.

Problem 1 - Basically i just cannot stop ZBrush from opening on my main display with is the 28".
Problem 2 - When I drag zbrush from my main monitor to the cintiq and maximize I start crying because it makes me so mad that I want to puch a deer face. EVERYHTING GOES SOUTH and the window gets cut off. Buttons not visible and everything.

So basically how do I make it start up on my cintiq when I launch it and at the correct resolution so ZBrush doesnt go full retard and cut off things that I need? please help I can still use zbrush by using my cintiq to act as a tablet but then what is the point of heaving a cintiq if i cant draw directly onto the screen. I NEED this to get fixed guys so plase help. I literally joined the forums just to get this sorted because there seems to be jack **** about this on the net.

Are you using Windows or Mac?

Oh and post a screenshot of Zbrush getting cutoff on the Cintiq. I’d like to see exactly where it’s getting cut off. I know that Zbrush gets cutoff on the older 12" cintiq but I thought the newer 13HD should be fine.

Windows is scaling down that resolution on your small one. It is a “feature” of windows 8. It assumes you want bigger text because it assumes you have a touch device hooked up. I had the same issue, I don’t remember where to change it, but it is a windows setting.
You can test this by moving any application over there. Also if you move a browser window it auto scales up the text to like 150% as well.
Fun fact, you can watch it scale it on the fly. Once the active window makes it over 50% to another screen it will resize it, either up or down depending on which one you just moved it to.
I also ripped my hair out for a good 4 hours or so.

You’re not annoying. Annoying is not listening to advice or repeating things already said and being whiny. Your posts are just normal for a new user asking for help.

Posting information like the operating system and screenshots can help pinpoint the problem much quicker. In your case it’s a Windows issue. Glad to hear you got it worked out. Happy Zbrushing! :smiley:
