Thanks for the help I appreciate it, I tried screwing around with the finished model a little bit more after reading this and still came up with absolutely nothing. So I'm guessing when I imported the model and did all types of clicking around and pressing buttons (it was my first time really using zBrush for anything other than to screw around) I messed something up in there that just didn't work. I will be re-importing my .obj and creating a morph target then subdividing and then modeling in order to make this work like my little tests did. I appreciate the time and the info which will be helpful and maybe I'll screw around a bit more before I actually get into sculpting this creature.

Thanks again

edit: Is there anything else I need to export other than displacements for the ultimate realism of these bumps and scrapes and stuff I'm going to be putting on my creature? Should I learn SSS Shading with this? Or is that a whole different thing?
