32 bit displacement file?
 
Everytime i get this error:

select -r file2 ;
AEassignTextureCB file2.fileTextureName "E:/Z-Brush/Tools/dp_map_human_head/Z-32.tif" "image";

When I generate a 16 bit displacment map in zbrush it works ok :headbang:

When I save it with imf_disp.exe to .iff or .map i get very strange results

maya can't handle 32 bit images. Why do you need it to be 32 bit? Why can't you just use the 16bit one?

MR will render 32bit tiffs.
maya native renderer will not iirc

Hmmm my renderer is turned on mental ray.. only it gives me this error when i try to load it in...

Well why i want to use 32 bit is because the 16 bit doesn't give me near the results i want to have from what i have to zbrush.. so i want to try out all settings to make it look a bit better as i have seen some demo's who look allot better then mine :)

ok fair enough, I wouldn't have thought you'd see that much difference in a 16 vs 32 bit displacement image... unless you're rendering at really high res... :) maybe you could post up some examples?
