My newfound displacement enthusiasm

[stellar]

Thanks to Gijs' post i was inspired to do some displacement tests and i wanted to share one of them i enjoyed the most.

Displacement looks great, lighting could be better

How do you get these wholes in the displacement?

hi,

ive prepared 3 different maps in the photoshop for diffuse, reflection and displacement and that's it

the holes you mean i guess are just full reflected parts with some glossiness

yeah i know it's kind of darkish
lighting is just a hdr mainly preferred for the reflection purposes

nice...

Stellar,

What Vray version are you using?

[stellar]

it is 1.09.03r on max7

[jojo7077]

diffuse...

Can you show us your maps? I'm especially interested in the diffuse map. Cane, rattan and wicker are very difficult to replicate.

Show us please.

[stellar]

sure i can post them

they're 1024*1024 tifs 3mb each
so would you prefer me to reduce them in resolution of just convert to jpeg ?

[jojo7077]

great...

I just sent you a private message with my email address so that you could send me the full resolution maps in a zip file.

[stellar]

ok i've sent them to you

[jojo7077]

okay received intact

got 'em Stellar. Thank you ver y much. I'll give it a go straightaway.

Very impressive displacement you have there!!

[stellar]

Thanks to DaForce, he kindly hosted the files.

Note that the max file is not optimised for speed and the hdr map is not included.

i forgot to attach the stone map either but it's an ordinary one anyways.

very nice

and thanks for sharing

great job

i have an idea, you could actually make the holes, as in an opacity map, if you shared the source displace map i could come up with it.

[stellar]

yes you can just put the reflection map into refraction slot and that is it.

maps are hosted above.
