You settings are awesome, but I've got a question for you. How long did it take you to render this image? I've got i7 2.93 with 12 gigs of ram and it kates rather long to render something. Am I doing something wrong?

[montyband]

It took about 3 minutes on quad core with 4 gigs of ram.
No special settings.

Ok next question. is this bust heavy? I mean does it have a high polycount. I tryed to render something with about 100000 and it took ages. Am I doing something wrong? I am new at this and I don't know much sorry. Maybe it is very big and your bust was like 10000...

My bust (head actually) took about 13 for a first pass and about 20 to render finally.

Sorry but i don't now what could went wrong with your render settings.
There is many things that can effect render time.
First one is image sampler and if you set it for max value on lets say "2" to get nice quality you will have longer render time.
I usually set it for testing at "0" (adaptive subdivision)
Another one is image size i guess 20 minutes is ok for nice renders.
I thought that my render took around 3 minutes but that was just for testing , nice quality image took around 15-20 minutes.

I started using displacement in '05 while working in the oil and gas industry for relief maps and it works great every time I use it ... accept with maps exported out of ZB ... so I am going to give this one more stab /bangs head, lol.

Using the exact set up you have I get a blown out model before I apply the map and a shrunken model after I apply my displacement map.

Upon creating my displacement map from ZB I am using the following settings:
1. Adaptive
2. 3 Channels
3. 32 Bit

Exported as a TIF file - the only setting I am changing is that I selected V Tile Flip since I did not flip it upon export.

The only other setting I can think of that might be on the max side is in the VRay settings panels or with the unit set up, but I have tried all of the unit set ups so it is likely not that.

Any ideas on where I might be going wrong?

Hosch i used all default setting both in zbrush and max vray.
My unit setup is generic.
Just copy my settings and i am sure it will work.

I really love your model here. even the low res one .
I got a problem .the big size of rendering casuse the result different. I rendered a 800x600 pic . the setting looks correct . but when I enlarge the size to 2048 plus , the setting looks wrong .it is like SSS scale changed . so I am comfused if there r some setting to control this .I used vray for rendering
