berconetiles and vraydisplacementmod

[roysgi]

Is it possible? -berconetiles with multitexture
I tried without success.
I would love to know the way to do it
Thanks

Did you try with 3D displacement? This should work.

Hi could you explain a bit further what you trying to do? Please share a screen grab with your shader. What texture are you loading in the VRayDisplacementMod?

[roysgi]

Thanks to the responders.
Attach a file illustrating the process. Am I doing it right?
Also another question - how can I produce a bitmap texture from berconetiles texture?
Thanks

Hi the VRayDisplacementMod does not work with multitexture. It will take only one of the loaded textures and use it for displacement.

[roysgi]

Thanks Vladimir. now I get it.
Now to my second question in the previous post.
Is it possible to extract from Bercontiles abitmap texture?

Not automaticallly that I know of....you can of course render an orthogonal view of a large mapped plane at high res...

Hi I did a test scene and it seems that you can bake the final texture. I used bake to texture and added VRayCompleteMap:



You have to choose the right mapping channel. In this case "1" is for the multitexture instances and this is the result:

That works with a basic setup but as far as I can see it won't when set up for a 'real' wall, where it needs UVW box mapping set to 1 and real world,
therefore giving actual brick size. Unless you can figure it out of course

[fixeighted]

Actually, displacement works just fine.
Pipe the multitexture map you're using into a VrayColor2Bump and as if by magic....

[roysgi]

Thanks for the creative solutions

Vladimir - can you send the file please? I can't get the same result. Probably something in uv is wrong with what I did

Could you explain your idea a bit further? This is what i did and how it renders:

[fixeighted]

Simpler to attach the scene

[fixeighted]

I meant to add that Bercontiles won't accept the corresponding greyscales as a bump map 'unless'
you pipe those through the same color2bump, so it working as displacement also was just a hunch which worked out well

Also, the bump map thing wasn't my discovery, rather that of a Youtube dude who posted it, so credit where it's due

Hi fixeighted there are no maps in your archive, only a 3ds max file. As far as I could see you are wiring it the same way as me. With my test in the previous post the VRayDisplacementMod works but only with a single map, it is not loading different textures randomly.
