3dsmax Environment Modeling #2 Procedural Stone. Mapping and painting

sorry for this video being very fast, i wanted to keep it short.
there's a short audio bug at 7.35 min. two tracks overlay there. but i think its no problem, since no relevant info is told there.

  7. This is a great tutorial, as always.

    Could you give us a hint how to make a displacement map out of Mudbox from the Hi poly imported stone ? I just find how to do it since the stone was done in 3dsmax and already hi poly when imported. I tried whith an import of both Hi and low poly of the stone but it didn't worked... (diplacement map render grey)

    thanks a lot sacha !

  8. hi pixel. i dont really know what you mean. a disp map is rendered in mudbox, just like you'd render a normalmap. onto a lower poly version.
    but if you got a problem to paint the stone in mudbox, because its too highpoly, you should take care, that you only export a mid poly version of the stone into mudbox, to paint it.. then lateron, just use the painted texture onto the highpolyobject inside 3dsmax. the mapping coords are the same.

  9. No, I mean since the stone was imported in mudbox in hi poly version, Mudbox can't export a norml/displace map since it doesn't have the lo poly reference. (actually you paint at level 0 in mudbox, am I right ?) I've managed to import the corresponding lowpoly 3dmax stone in mudbox then extract the disp/normal maps but those seems corrupted... Don't worry, it's my first time in mudbox and maybe I did somthing wrong ;)
