DISPLACEMENT HELP!

tarik3d · Dec 2009

Hi All,

I exported a displacement map from zbrush to use in 3ds max mental ray. But i cant get any of the detail to come through. I flipped the map by -1 on V so its not that. If anyone can help that would be great

Cheers

Tarik

you might have to take it to PS and adjust the contrast and the levels. kind of make sure you have a lot of close to white and a lot of close to black colors.

yeah i played around with contrast within 3ds max but it only makes a certain amount of difference

are you using r32 bit displacement maps? if so, you aren't even supposed to open them in photoshop.

this tutorial helped me get displacement maps working. i think i had to set my extrusion strength to 2.2 instead of 220.
