Displacement Map not baking details properly in ZBrush.

[Horace_Nicolas]

Greetings!

I just wanted to ask you guys on how do you export a good displacement map out of Zbrush for rendering in Maya using Arnold because I'm having a hard time exporting a good Displacement Map because every time I render it in Maya then I zoom on the model it only captures like the bumpiness of my sculpt but not the overall maps that I displaced using Texturing XYZ. I layered my maps on the layers tab ( Tertiary, Secondary, Micro ) and i'm on subdiv 5 ( 20 mil poly's ) but I didn't baked them to my model, is this one of the reasons why I cannot capture all the sculpted details when exporting my displacement maps in maya?

hmmm yep, maybe you need to bake the layers details to your model, make another copy of your Ztool or the Zproject -just to make that test on it & keeping your original work as is- … bake all the details you need, then try again…
In my case, I once before detailed a character & I even deleted all lower subdivisions levels , kept in in single level of 13 million poly… then added another higher subdivision level just to let me extract displacement map -Exporter conditions that I need to bake while I am on another lower level even if they are just 2 levels only in your model-
& the results were very shape & full contrast details for tiny bump/pores & even heavily displaced places -I didn’t need to modify it in photoshop later-
