Im trying - with little success -  to use a displacment map generated in Zbrush in Vue 6I.
Has anyone been able to use displacement maps from Zbrush?

I have tried them (well, one) but didn't persevere. I wanted to see if the alphas produced by ZB could be used as terrain height maps. It occurred to me that it might be easier and give better results to make these maps in ZB rather than Photoshop, since you could see the 3D effect during model sculpting.

It did work, but I couldn't say the results were any better! I haven't used these maps actually as displacement maps, but I can't see why they wouldn't work.

(Later) - just tried it on a sphere, works fine.

I actually tried it myself with a sword and map downloaded from Zbrush. It works fine. The displacement maps have to be GUV maps (whatever the hell that means).
Anyone?

PerfectN, they do work, but there is alittle trick, I suppose you guessed what that trick is if you were able to make it work.
