Top down displacement

Maximum-Dev

Hello,

I have a mesh in 3Ds max that I wish the displacement happen only on the top surface. But whole the mesh even the sides get displaced. Is there any way to prevent that? or if there is a way to achieve it in zbrush, I'd appreciate that as well.






Thanks.

I ended up doing it manually with an alpha + standard brush in zbrush and use the morph brush to undo the changes made to the sides.

In case you need to use Max later... I would pass a sub-object selection up to the Displace modifier. I'd also use soft selection if it needed a transition area.
