bitmap imports

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,

2 questions

first, importing alpha in zbrush, in “32 bit” Grayscale depth, is possible or not possible. If it is, then I’m asking someones help, to tell me about the format and conditions to do that.

Also,Many bitmap formats available inside the importing image or alpha list, are francly not supported!.. like the PNG… I never succeed with importing any PNG of any kind inside ZBrush.
So if I’m not doing it wrong, then why putting sutch unsupported formats in their liste? Is there any reason?

Thanks for any help,

Regards,

  1. No, you can’t import 32 bit grayscale alphas. ZBrush cannot display 32 bit (though you can generate 32 bit displacement). Alphas imported into the Alpha palette should be 16 bit or 8 bit.

  2. I guess that the unsupported image formats were an oversight.

… Fine, i’ll do with it… Many thanks for your short and clear answers.

Best continuation,
