zbrush 3.5 rendering

torontoanimator

hey polycounters,

quick question, sorry but its a nooby one. I recently started using zbrush again after a bit of a hiatus and i need to know, in 3.5, how do you render your normal maps? I havent used zbrush since 3, and i do recall how to use zmapper but apparently thats not in 3.5, so if anyone could let me know how to do it in 3.5, id be extremely grateful, id be able to post my new enviroment for critiques

p.s. if anyone has a video link thatd be even better! all the 3.5 vids ive found on youtube are about zsketching and such, none have showed me how to actually render the hipoly into a normal map

Hmmmm. I typically don't render in Zbrush. I have 4.0, but there's a tab at the top named "render". It seems like it has stuff in it for what you need? Wish I could be more help.

i just meant like exporting what id modelled, isnt that the term for it? rendering the normal map?

I no longer have 3.5 installed so I forget what it looks like, but in v4 there is a Normal Map tab in the Tools Palette. You can bake the normal map there and pass it off to the Textures palette where you can export it.
