Displacement Problem

[aref3dsmax]

Hi. sometimes we had a problem
when export a heightmap from Quixel or Alchemist in 8 bit or 32bit ( EXR TGA JPG ... )
or height going to step by step

this pic 32 bit

With 8 bits it's fully expected behaviour, however with 32 bits there should no such issues, unless the output from alchemist itself is wrong.

Is it the same with 3ds Max Bitmap and Corona Bitmap? What is the blurring value in the 3ds Max Bitmap / Corona Bitmap loader that is used to load this displacement texture?

hi. its corona bitmap
i try with different blur amount
but result no change

I was skeptical. But when I opened the texture in Photoshop, it was exactly 32 bits.

I send the texture in 2# post

Well, saving a texture with not enough data in 32 bits will not magically make the missing data appear. ;)



The only solution I can think of is opening this texture in PS and applying some sort of blur to smooth out the gradients, but obviously that will also blur the details.
