3DsMax doesn't display my normals correctly

[svelle]

Hey,

I made a model in 3dsmax, loaded it into zbrush, sculpted a bit and made a normal out of it, inside zbrush everything looks good, but when i load the normal into 3dsmax it looks like a normal from the nvidia filter and that wasn't what i wanted.

here are two screens from 3dsmax and zbrush





any help would be nice


edit: when i close zbrush and want to resculpt another time, how do i have to save to save the subdiv levels and can return the sculpting, sorry i'm new to zbrush.

Try inverting the green channel in PS (or there's an option in the normalbump slot to invert it).

Yes that was it, but it still looks much different.

right now it looks like this inside 3dsmax



here is a pic of the normal too

with inverted green channel

and without

Oh, ok, it's generating world-space normals rather than tangent-space/local normals.

I don't really know zmapper but I'm guessing there's an option to toggle that somewhere.
