XNormal --> Zbrush Displacement/Depth issue

ErichWK

hey everytime I bake out a mesh's displacement/depth texture out of Xnormal..and I bring it into Zbrush to create a Displacement out of..I get this weird Tiered Steppe thing going on. Anyone have this problem? Or know how to get rid of it? Is it just an inherent thing Xnormals has within it?

It's likely because you're baking it as an image with 8-bits per channel instead of 16 or 32-bits. Try baking it as a TIFF file instead of png/bmp/jpg etc and see if that helps.

Maaan. That makes sense! I will do at work and will report back. Thanks!

Was originally saving it out as a .tga, did it as a tiff and it worked!
