trouble baking displacement maps from sculpt

bkost

Hi all, so my goal is to build alpha brushes for zbrush. I wish to extract cloth folds so I can reuse them.

I'm having trouble baking the HP onto the lowpoly that is unwrapped, I have all sorts of artifacts from Mudbox and XNormal bakes. Any ideas on how to achieve a clean displacement bake so I can use it as an alpha in zbrush?

cheers

Could you post some images

you can just make your alphas in zbrush with the mrgb Zgrabber brush.

I have successfully made zbrush alphas using substance designer.

Hi @oglu here is my progress so far. The displacement bake only pushes outwards and there is no information for pushing in. It is all flat black.

I'd like to achieve a map similar to texturingXYZ's to use as a brush in zbrush- https://texturing.xyz/collections/cloth/products/denim-trousers-08
