Every now and again, I try and up the ante with displaced bricks. I don’t think I have ever quite managed it. Ideally, I really want to get displacement working with BerconTile as we use this, in combination with Multitexture, to create our wall materials. I use a black and white version of the ber…

I don’t have BM installed so I just tested the bitmaps… First off, I don’t think vray displacement supports real world UV map size, only standard UVs. That may be why nothing is lining up. See attached… [brick.jpg]

[image] First Time Posting....hansob views First off, I don’t think vray displacement supports real world UV map size, only standard UVs. That may be why nothing is lining up. I didn’t realise that. Can Vlado confirm? This could cause problems with BerconTile as it uses real world dimensions…

I think it’s only the 2d displacement that doesn’t work with real world map sizes so 3d might work just fine. Render times though usually just make me switch a particular material over to normal UV coordinates rather than try the 3d.

Vlado confirmed it already… It is because 2d displacement does not work with the “Tiling” parameters of Bitmap textures, and the “Real world map size” uses these parameters. It is unfortunately not easy to fix. On the other hand, 3d displacement works fine. Here

I see. Thankyou for that link. Good grief - we always use Real World mapping, and BerconTile pretty much demands it! Looks like we will have to create large panels of brick textures and displacement maps using Bercon, and then apply these panels as normal textures and use normal UV mapping. What a …

You can send it to vlado@chaosgroup.com Best regards, Vlado

Problem with displaced bricks, still!

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues

The lack of real world size support in the VrayDisplacementMod is really annoying.
3d displacement is something that never worked for me. It’s not precise for things like tiles, linear gaps, etc.

bsp, raycasting... What's the diference in the tree build quality under settings tab?
