[ZBrush] I can't get precise results with displacement maps in 3DSMAX.

OccultMonk

I use a medium subdivided mesh (not the lowest subdivision because results are even worse then).





In Zbrush I use the multimap exporter with displacement settings: 



In 3dsmax I use a displacement modifier with these settings: (midpoint 0.5)



No Linear Gamma (I know that when I use Linear gamma I should import the displacement with Gamma 1.0) Gamma correction is Off  here.

Do you mean the image 1 and 2 should be more similar? Is that not dictated in this case by the amount of displacement you set in the displace modifier (strength) and the resolution of your subdivided mesh? 

OccultMonk

Yes naturally, but I can't get the results to match up even with different settings.

OccultMonk

Does anyone have an idea what Zbrush and 3dsmax settings are best (most accurate) for displacement?

Hey mate, this is a very old tutorial of mine, but it's for use with Vray dispmod. Although the Zbrush displacement export part might be useful to you.

Thanks! but why have the midpoint on 0?

Because it's an exr you don't have to mess with the range too much. 1 is fully out. -1 is fully in. 0 is the mid grey.
