Zbrush Tool draw Problem

Zbrush Tool draw Problem

Hi everyone, I have a very annoying problem with Zbrush ,and I have been stock for two days now. I have a model ‘‘Ztool’’ composed of 10 subtools about 50 million active points in total. End now I want to render it ,and it needs to be print quality since zbrush works with 72 dpi I need the biggest possible document size so I resize my document to 8000 X 6000 and I draw the tool an it, but no meter what I do I can’t get the tool to be bigger than approximately half the document (canvas) size,but I need the tool to be as big as the document , but for some reason zbrush wont let me. Is this a Zbrush bug? Then why did they gave as the possibility of 8000 X 8000 documents ? I tried everything, from exiting edit mod and trying to scale with the scale tool,tried in edit mod with the combination of alt like we always do it in zbrush edit mod, tried to frame it whit the ‘‘F’’ shortcut nothing seems to work. All I get is zooming the document instead of making the tool occupy more document space. what I mean by that is that first of all a document of 8000 X 6000 needs to be zoomd out so you can see what you work with (is also annoying that if you zoom all the way out in zbrush you steel wont be able to see the whole document ) and then when I start zooming the tool (wiyh the combination of alt or the scale tool when not in edit mod) zbrush instead of zooming the tool like it should it starts to zoom the document on the screen. Or while dragging it gives me the visual ilusion that is scaling but when I let go ,the tool is steel just half document size and there is steel that huge space around it what I have to crop in photoshop so all I have is a 4000 X 4000 but that is not what I want.
What is more interesting is that if I turn of 9 subtools and having just 1 active ,than I can make it as big as the canvas size. Than you would think ok do that and star turning on gradually the other subtools… I tried that to and what happens is that by turning on the next subtool ,the first one shrinks on the canvas automatically and by the time I turn them all visible the tool shrinks so much ,that is just half canvas size.
Obviously it has something to do with the polycount but there must be some possibility otherwise zbrush leaves us with having to chose between large document size but one tool with no subtools or smol render whit multiple subtools.
Please if you know the answer help me !!!
Zooming with transpose master is not the answer since you have to redraw it ……
help help help

:lol:

You gave the answer

Indeed, It’s the poly count… even Zbrush gets down to its knees with a 10 million mesh…

What you have to do is break down your sculpt… and use multimarkers, I haven’t done anything like thtat yet, but this is the aproximate workflow:

Pose your sculpt in the canvas

Place the multimarker, and save

Delete some subtools, and SAVE AS (to avoid data loss xD)

So… you will have five 2 million tools… to drop into your 8k canvas… it should do the trick.
