Displacement Issue

[system]

Hi Guys
I need to understand better how to export diplacement for Maya.
Our pipe is. Import Obj…press morph target, start to sculpting.
After all process We export displ map witching on Morph target.
We tried different options.
32 bit tiff
16 bit tiff
We saw alwais a grey scale maps quit uniform.
We import map in Maya and the result is not as We see in Zbrush. We tried different setting in Maya as well.
We are using 3Delight as render engine but We found a lot of problems with Zbrush sculpt and its displacement.
Could We help me telling me right pipe line to sculp and export right displcement to see in my 3d package the same reult I got in Zbrush?

I look forward for help!!

There’s a lot of variables, but first make sure your UV mapping done in Maya or whatever is correct w/ no overlapping points. I just import my Maya mesh, bump up geometry 4-6 levels and sculpt/texture. I don’t use Morph Target. For DP map, step down to level 1 and for DP map, 16 bit w/ default settings. Do same for Normal map/Tangent and default settings. Texture map set to 2048. Hit GoZ to launch Maya and render in Mental Ray/Production Settings and you should have a decent render. Supposedly adjusting Mental Ray Approx Editor settings can help and activating Maya Derivatives/Render Settings/Performance increases Normal Map details. My experience so far is that the final render will not be as detailed as your ZB sculpt, but if someone here can add, please do. Attached is info from another ZB member
