3dsMax8ModifiedE.zmp doesnt work with Current Zmapper!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi there i am creating some normal maps in Zmapper however when using the ‘3dsmax7tangentspace.zmp’ configuration I was getting nasty seams where the UV boundaries on my model in MAX

So i heard that the ‘3dsMax8ModifiedE.zmp’ would get rid of this problem but when i put the .zmp file in the ZmpMaterials directory and accessed it through Zmapper i got an error message saying that this file wasnt recognised with this version of Zmapper

I am using zbrush 3.11

any ideas?

Odds are, that ZMP was created for ZBrush 2, which had some different settings than the one in ZBrush 3. Some ZMP files will still work, but some won’t.

Where did you get the file from?

#4

I got it from an old thread in these forums, I tried searching for new ones but cannot find any

Do you know where there are any recent .zmp files for download?

I think there is a ‘3dsmax8_Tangent_space.zmp’ also but i cant find it

or even ones for 3dsmax9 or 2008?

thanks

I fixed it, the one i downloaded must have been an old one

as I downloaded another one from a website and it works!

No seams at all back in 3dsMax with Mental Ray
