I painted a basic bumpy surface in ZBrush2 and now I want to use it to create a normal map. I got the normalMapMaterial but it isn't in the right colors for the engine I'm exporting the texture into. So how can I accomplish this without a material, or can I change the material or get a new one? Thank you in advance.
In order to help you, we'll need to know what engine you're exporting the texture into. ;)

I don't know, I'm not the one putting it in the engine, I'm making the textures for someone.
But here's what a sphere would look like:

So I'm guessing I need to flip the 2 left colors, the blue and green.
Can you help me now? :D
Hopefully someone knows how to make materials for ZBrush. All I need is the NormalMaterial by pixolator to have 2 colors (green and blue) flipped.
Thanks in advance once again.

Alright, if someone could at least rip the material used in the Normalmap texture and export it to a nice PSD or something I would appreciate it.
Please... how do I take textures out of materials?

Hi Figs from " "
Why not use the menu Best Render/Adjustment?
You can easily change the regulates of RVB colors of an image with the curves lines!

Did you try and load the NormalRGBMaterial.
It comes with the install of Z2.
I posted a reply here (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=011260&p=4).

My ZBrush2 didn't include the Normal material...
