I’m investigating using displacement to render sinusoidal cladding, but can’t figure out how to create a smooth curve at the trough and the peak. The attached graphic should explain. The bitmap texture for the displacement was created in Photoshop using a gradient fill. What am I doing wrong? [si…

I guess you just need a smoother/wider transition between black and white. as you can see from your screengrab, once applied to the plane, the gradient creates quite a narrow white line, which in turn, once displaced, form a peak instead of a curve. edit: [image] Exterior shading intensity You …

If you know the gradient for it, why not use a gradient in 3ds max instead of a created image? That should sort things out for you too.

First thing I did was try the max gradient map. I think I figured that it was my blur was set to 0.001! If I crank it up to 0,5, the smooth curves start to appear. I also considered modelling a small repeating pattern, but I couldn’t work out how to create a zdepth properly. I guess I’d have to cre…

Render from a front, top or side viewport and it’ll behave. Or turn you camera to orthographic. I think dmitri did a little thing on it a while back for chain mail / linked fences?

Orthographic camera is the answer. I covered similar workflows on my blog and at Ronenbekerman a while back. Try here or here . Peter did something too here .

Next problem. I am getting horrible triangular shading that conincides with the subdivide modifier I have applied to the perimeter line. The line is imported from Autocad, a subdivide modifier applied to that (set to 5000mm), UVW applied to that and then the VrayDisplaceMod on top. Any ideas? This…

Maybe is the gamma, set it 1.0 for that map

If you can - 2D mapping in the disp modifier should clear that up.
