Cavity maps with zBrush

SyaPed

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to import a highpoly and a lowpoly .obj into zBrush, and then bake a cavity map from the high to the low? All the tutorials I find show you how to do it with a ztool which has the multiple subdivisions... Otherwise is there any other software that produces nice cavity maps? Or a flexible ambient occlusion system?

Thanks!

There have already been topics about this

One of the AO systems that's very popular around here is Faogen. It's pretty damn flexible and fast.

I think Jogshy is expanding some of the AO options in future xNormal releases, but that's not until after the new year. Hope that helps

Sorry should have done a more extensive search.

Thanks for the link, never seen that before Does it let you bake from high to low though?

That I'm not sure of. Might want to speak with poopinmymouth on that one. I only used it a few times, and not for baking from a high res.
