Zbrush - creating displacement map with subtools

I have a model with multiple sub-tools which I would like to export the displacement map to import it in C4D, animate it and render it using Octane render.
I'm not being able to generate the displacement map including all the subtools. I'm using the multi map exporter with the option subtools option on.


Things I would like to accomplish:
- I would like to have the displacement with all the subtools in one file.
- I wouldn't like to merge the subtools in order to generate a displace map.


I have been stuck on this and I cannot make it, please help!.

    Basically zbrush only looks at the difference between subdivision levels for a single subtool, and creates a displacement map based on that difference. So it won't account for other subtools as part of the displacement map process.

    If each subtool has their own subdivision levels and you wanted to create a single displacement map for everything (an atlas), then their UVs need to be arranged in a way that they won't overlap the arrangement from the other subtools.
