imported geometry limits

[wailingmonkey]

Hi again, Andrew.

So in my attempts to push things I was wondering if there was a specific reason of 100k on

geometry import. I'm working with Zbrush and would like to potentially go back and forth between it and

3d-brush for each tool's strengths, but the 100k limit seems like it might hinder that option a bit

in regard to detailed sculpted geometry.

I've also found that only being able to set the depth to a maximum of 2 on an imported 16-bit

displacement map can be limiting as well.

I realize that you are not trying to build a Zbrush clone, but perhaps you might consider raising these

limits to something a bit higher? (like 250k---1 subdivision below a million---and maybe allowing for

a greater depth range on layers to something like -10 to 10).

I've included an image for further explanation.

Obviously, if this is just too big of a hit on the software interaction it wouldn't be a good move, but I'm wondering

if you set the import limit to 100K for a specific reason or because it sounded like a big enough limit

that users would never need or want to have higher.

Kind regards,

Yes, really want to increase import poly count... Will do that in near future. But why can't you set bigger displacement coefficient? I think you can enter any value during import.

good to hear!

It's late here, and I hadn't tried to re-import with a larger number.

It works just fine doing that (kinda blows out some areas, but they are easy

to fix/smooth). It might still be nice to have a higher range on the actual layer

control tho...and definitely a negative value option would be handy.

Will you also be considering 32-bit displacement map import?

getting some sleep now....thanks for the quick reply!

You can click on number near any slider and enter any value that you like!

32 - bit- seems it is done in 3DB. But if it works badly, please send be 32-bit tiff sample.
