Zbrush - Detail Blur Question

JessieMoss

Hi there! 

I have a question about ZBrush. I have never run across this issue before and it is bugging me because I am not sure what is going on. When I am zoomed in on my model to get close detail it seems to take a blur, making it hard to get good detail in. If i zoom out it seems to look better, and I can detail from far off but it makes it harder. I am also sitting over 1 mil polys. I am just looking for an answer for this, maybe I just went derp mode.

The density should be the same throughout. Even with smaller objects. I can sculpt on just a square plank and have this same issue.

Looks like a density issue to me. Especially if that is a square plane (in which case you may have more than a million points, but they're still scattered across the entire surface). Treating each plank as its own subtool would give you a lot more geometry to work with. 

That or you're zooming in the document rather than scaling the tool; that could also give a pixelated result due to the nature of the zoom.

Right now I am currently working on a plane and sculpting detail in it. Even with individual planks I am still getting this result. I am zooming by alt+click. Would it be better to work on this as a dynamesh maybe? I am currently doing subdivision levels.

Thanks for the feedback. More than likely it is the density. Been trying new stuff lately, that can always cause unforeseen issues :P

Of course it's the topology density. 1mill is very low for what you're doing. If you have a grid-topology and you cut diagonally against the flow of edgeloops, you need a very high amount of polys to maintain the detail when zoomed in that close.
