Rendering Zbrush displacement maps in XSI

Mongrelman · May 2006

Anyone know how to do this? I tried following the zb>xsi pipeline tutorials from zbrushcentral, but it misses out some stuff. For examle it shows the render tree setup, but there are two nodes in it I just can't find anywhere.

Help us Obi Wan Kanobi...you're our only hope...

Which version of xsi are you using? The obj importer does all the rendertree stuff for you starting at ver. 5.

I think i know what your having issues with there. The two nodes that seem to confuse people are the image node and change range node.

flow should look like this texture>image>color2scalar>changerange>material

change range is located under nodes>math>changerange.

Hope that helped.

Aye Arsh I tried that, but couldn't get it to work.

I'm using XSI 5, which is why I was expecting the rendertree to setup automatically (as it says in the pipeline guide). But it didn't

But I'll try what you said dur.

Cheers
