Wow…
I have NO luck in generating displacement maps. I am working on this hat model:
Why can’t I get maya (rendering production quality with MR) to show me what I see in zbrush? There’s got to be a way.

I don’t use Maya, so I can’t say for sure, but I think you might get better results if you use a normal map instead of a displacement map.
Hey Bro my name is Cobus. this might be a long shot but just try this out.
The MR approx method has a new method of rendering Displacements.
Its called a CCmesh,Its much faster than the previous method but what you could do is to switch back to the previous method that wil remove seams of ou uvs. here a link of a video you might want to watch that shows you how to do this.
Hope this help bro. let me know if you got it to work

Im not totaly sure but the answer you are looking for might be in the second Part.
Did you set normal angle to 180 for the object?
hello! i use maya and zbrush. at first my zbrush displacement maps would ‘blow up’ my model in maya. now i use Xnormal to make normal maps. normal maps do look great on models in maya. Normal maps are best seen within an engine like the unrealengine3 in conjunction with diffuse/ spec maps. so now i stay away from displacement maps altogether. With xnormal, you can make an ‘ambient occlusion’ map, and then bake it on top of the texture- which looks great too! its like drawing all of the dark details of cracks and stuff onto the texture.
