Using Vector Displacement Maps Tutorial

[ustuner3d]

hi . he loses a lot of time.

he talks without doing anything for 2 minutes so start the video from 2:05 .

he sculpts the shape he is going to displace for an entire 7 minutes . so fast forward to 9:00 if you dont want to see it.

real action takes place in between 9:00 to 14:00 where he creates a custom vector map he tells how to apply the map to sculpting from 14:00 to 18:31

hey, what is the difference between the displacement map and the normal map ??

[shawnhendriks]

@juan321654 displacement maps directly modify the geometry essentially creating and moving real physical polygons. normal maps are modifying the shading of the model but not the actual geometry.

oh man I'm having some trouble I do everything you say yet when I go into the image browser and try to select the folder it simply wont let me the "choose" button is completely shaded out I cant click it.....any ideas?

[xXZonaa]

@xXZonaa turns out I'm a noob and wasnt selecting the folder....Hand....Face....Slap­.... xD

Tnx mate! Learned a lot from here this is just what I needed..

Autodesk should make a feature that allows painting/sculpting at the same time. This is a feature Autodesk has been talking about since v2009. This would speed some things up.

wow zbrush did this long ago

[TofurkeyMan]

@Heartly07 Funny you should say that, ZBrush is actually one of the few programs left that doesn't support vector displacement maps. They still use standard greyscale.

[goomee3d]

@TofurkeyMan It would be nice if other autodesk products supported vector displacement.

Lets just go ahead

This would be perfect for making HR. Giger repetitive patterns in his backgrounds.

[TousenSyazel]

nice!

[Pseftothodoros]

which applications did he have in mind that would use vector displacement but not use tif?

[Therileyrileyriley]

cool!
