A very quick & high quality alternative to Displacement & Normal Maps (by Rastaman)

[StrayCat]

Can this method of making bump maps be applied in zbrush 4.0?
And if so, what kind of displacement generation settings do you guys suggest one should use?

I'm also curious about this in ZB4.

Amazing !!!
well done Rastaman...
Thanks to shear your helpfully trick....
but Is it possible work in creating Normal Map?
I've try follow your step and try make normal map in same way, but I'm not find any change for Normal Map and Texture map, only for displacement map its work...
is it possible to create special Normal and Texture Map, as your way to make Displacement map that really work ???

That's a greyscale texture map--from polypaint, e.g., or at least it looks like it. Oddly enough I usually just double up the TM as Bump whenever I can. You got good results, too,... definitely. Awesome , man ... thumbs up.. I always feel like I'm jerrry rigging when I get it into maya, especially when it's all pro-ish as far as maps and such... Hell, I've really never even known for sure if a bump is a cavity map or some other thing. Could look it up i guess. But, I'm a 3d noob--3 months and going--trying to make a shoestring feature film look huge, with a schizo bum giving an inaugural speech to the world--even though no one but the cameras and chairs show up at capitol hill... Gotta lotta work... Tricks like this make stuff easier...

Cheers.

is this morphing required, can;t we just go to lowest subdiv level ?

Is there some reason why the youtube video was removed?

What is your problem ?
The described way and the generated special maps worked great so far for me and some others.
If you don't like it, simply do something else. That's your choice.
Please avoid further comments like this.

You mean a thread that's 3 years old?

Instead of just flat out saying it's erroneous why don't you provide some insight and updates to the information? It would be helpful for those looking for this information later on.
