theflu Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) hey, i have good results with 32bit, adaptive disp maps (smoothed).beeing new to houdini, i was really surprised by how good mantra renders displacement. (dont forget to adjust the dicing of your geometry) hope this helps. (the only thing i coulnt find out is how to mix a bump with the disp so i layered the bump in ps into the disp maps, until i understand the vex stuff better Edited May 30, 2009 by theflu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theflu Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) hi, thanks for the tips but my problems are more on the z bruh side...may you can give me some tips how to setup and export the displacementmaps in z brush for houdini thx hey, in zbrush under the tool palette, theres a displacement tab. so if your model has got uvs, put the resolution to your desired size 2or 4k maybe, press adaptive, and smoothuvs and hit create map. then go to alpha menue, your created map will be there, hit the DE options, there your can enter a quick code, you find them on zbrushcentral, i entered the code i also use for vray in c4d thats 32 bit Greyscale: DE-JCGK-EACADA-4D_D32 then i export the map. and it works very nice for me in mantra, hope this will help you. ulf Edited May 30, 2009 by theflu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
