seeing as none of the big tutorial sites such as gnomon and Kurv studios have any tutorials on exporting from max, detailing in Zbrush, and then importing back into max, I thought I'd do one... hence this video. This was a request by KonL on DeviantArt, and so here it is. I know you can't see the details, but a point to note is that I have never used tangent normal mapping successfully, so I ALWAYS go for another projection method. If you're wondering, my deviant art site is: http://tadmod ...

    When uv unwrapping, use a method called pelt mapping and it'll save you loads of time. There is a tutorial on pelt mapping on youtube which I highly recommend checking out

    I saw a tutorial on this, you have to make a clone and retopologize it. Its complex and tricky, google a guy called Jason Welsh. He has a video tutorial on this and loads more about zbrush. Highly recommended

    thanks anyway I've since found a easy method of making high res normal maps in Maya. The only point of doing it in Maya is it imports the high res zbrush models in about 5min so there's no problem! I'll have to learn more maya at some point seems really cool.

  • Yeah, I agree, ...

    Yeah, I agree, there are some issues with the Normal map renders in 3ds max (as in the normals aren't replaced by the map, rather just... overlayed). If you wish to use true detail in 3ds max, I find that displacement and bump-maps are decent.

    Sorry I couldn't help...

  • in ZB and the ...

    in ZB and the normals look great but I've found that when I export the map and bring it in to max the renders show certain parts of the model inversed say hands look darker than the rest of the arm. when I make normals in max the normals have an extra alpha in them but these do not. Got any ideas? It would be a great help.
