Parallax mapping

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Is it possible to export parallax maps from zbrush instead of basic normal maps?

#2

Do a search of the forum this has come up before… Not sure of the outcome. :wink:

#3

Thanks. I haven’t found anything about the subject yet… that’s why I asked. I’ll try to do some more searching.

#4

Really? I found 2 threads in a few seconds that discussed it. :wink:

Thanks for the links. I found those, but no info about “is possible to get parallax maps from zbrush”. I talked with my coder friend and he told that it can be done with combining bump and normal map.

ZBrush does not currently have features to create parallax maps. It can, however, bake a bump map into a normal map in order to create a normal map with more details than can be gotten from geometry alone.

Well that is a good answer. :wink:
