Zbrush 4 displacement settings for 3ds Max 2010

ioster

Hi -

Does anyone know how to export displacement maps out of zbrush 4 that work in 3ds max 2010? I am having very little luck with this. Specifically the renders look very inflated with standard export settings. I think the mid value may be off, or maybe the range is screwy. Also, does the image need to be 16 bit or 32 bit? Should the render be done with scan line or mental ray?

Thanks!

i used this tutorial a while ago that suggests mental ray and 32 bit displacements, but it doesn't seem that zbrush 4 has all of those fancy settings for exporting displacement maps. i recently opened a max 2008 model with displacements in max 2010, and i had to adjust the extrusion strength to get it to look right. i think it was set at 22, and i had to change it to 2.2.
