Have you tried to delete the normal tag on the object?
If you can share a small part of the object I’ll check it out
I can’t seem to find any info on how to optimise the mesh in C4D - could you point me in the right direction please?
When I apply to subdivision node, it does look correct in the C4D viewport (you can see the subdivision).
VFB is too low res, so I can tell what’s happening until I do a final Vray render in the Chaos Cloud.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Thanks! I’ll PM you with a link…
The normal map needs to be set to linear color profile usually.
I’m not sure if I understand correctly what you need, you can create one or more material, then you can use a geometry tag for displacement and use the Vray bump shader to add as many normal/bmp map you want on top of the original material.
I’ve tried your file and here it works perfectly using both the geometry tag in subdivision mode and the C4D subdivision surface (C4D R26, Vray6, MacOS):
Maybe the problem is with your shader setup, the scene scale or other things. You may want to send the entire scene to developers so that they can investigate where the problem is, my guess is that is a user error but you never know.
On our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/3DRenderandBeyond/videos we have a 2h long Vray workshop (museum scene making of part 1-2-3), you will find many useful information including displacement setup and much more!
Fantastic!! Thank you very much for the link and all your help with this. I’m getting up to speed fast now…
I’m working through the tutorial for Vray and C4D from 3D Render and Beyond - It is FANTASTIC!!! It’s answered all of my questions, in a very easy to follow way. It’s taught me so much about VRay and how to get the best out of it - thank you 3D Redner and Beyond!
