Hey Sandy,

You are talking about the quality of the displacement in characters compared to the original sculpted in zbrush right?

Usually I get very close results (10% loss) using the default method which would be:

1 - bring the displacement map from zbrush using multi displacement 2 (zbrush2) and the xsi code for the map generation (4k).
2 - bring the low res from zbrush (I dont use morph target)
3 - geometry approximation set to fine with view dpendant on.
4 - a change range if I need to animate displacements. or I want specific control over the displacement.  I am using mudbox only nowadays and The 32bits disps from it give me 100% fidelity without change ranges.


Ive started this character the other day:  http://www.xsibase.com/forum/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=31714

And it is exactly 100% what I had in mudbox. Ill be posting a screencap of mudbox in the thread tonight.

Hope this helps somehow


cheers

Mario

Hi All - anyone here know if there really is a way to get Zbrush stuff
into XSI without it going to Sh%^ - we are trying it out here, and the
result is very far from acceptable???  Anyone have the er......magic
recipe? - yes we have been looking at the XSIBASE video tuts that came
up in the past couple of days...well their way does not work well for us!

Thanks

Sandy
