Stop Posting Ugly Screenshots – Do This Instead!

ZBrush rendering tips for digital sculptors and concept artists

Want your ZBrush sculpts to look sharper and more professional in your renders? In this video, I’ll walk you through 3 simple steps (I call them DFM) that can make a big difference when it comes to presenting your work as a concept artist or digital sculptor.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

D = Document → How to set up the right document size and use AAHalf to get cleaner, anti-aliased images.
F = Framing → Why camera angles and composition matter, and how to avoid tangents that distract from your sculpt.
M = Material → How choosing the right material can elevate your presentation (and why RedWax isn’t always the best choice).

These tips are quick to apply, but they’ll help you show off your models in the best possible light.
