OK, next question. If you are working in linear workflow, how would you set up the displacement? At this moment I feed the displacement map as Linear, and scale it down with Change Range node. The displacement map is an OpenEXR 32 bit texture, and I am using the MILA mental Ray shaders.

So MR will know wich values go up and wich values go down. Take a look at the alpha value when exporting the displacement map from Zbrush. That value should be placed in the scalar change range node in the render tree. So let's say that the alpha value in Zbrush for the exported map is 0.054. You should plug the dm in the scalar change range node and place the minimum value to -0.054 ant the max to 0.054. That way MR will know where is 0.0 value and the max and min displacement.

I used it a lot recently and it works like a charm. With the click of a button you get your model imported into SI with all the maps attached and a change range node with the right values added to your displacement. It even flips the maps for you. I think you can download it from the pixologic site.

It might be that I make the displacement in ZBrush wrong, but in PS the map looks good (I use 32bit 3channel OpenEXR), but the rendered version has very faint details. If I bump up the displacement with change range, the modell blows up...
