Has anyone tried this yet? Curious to know if it works in Vray.

Yeah I saw those vid’s as well. The really sweet part was NO UV’s necessary when using ptex.

So is there any update on vector displacement support. I too , cant seem to make it work. Would be good to know if this is being looked at & if we can expect any updates soon. Many Thanks Chris

here’s a sample Mudbox vector displacement. I can’t seem to get it working with the V-Ray nightlies http://www.can-con.ca/temps/ear\_tan\_vdm.exr.zip

Lastly I’ve been trying to use vector displacement mapping with Vray too. I’ve done this using free software xnormal ( www.xnormal.net ), using low poly and high poly models in obj exported directly from Zbrush. Neither good results. I need to find another way to do it.

If someone manage to get it to work with Beige ear sample, let me know. Thanks

Hello, One of our very talented artists here at Swiss managed to get Vray to render vector displacement maps from mudbox. Here is what you do in 10 easy steps: 1. Extract an Absolute Tangent map from mudbox. 2. Import mesh and assign a shader with a displacement file texture. 3. Between the file…

Very cool; but you should be able to do the same just with the Color Gain and Color Offset parameters of the File texture, no? Best regards, Vlado

First your switching the green and the blue channel. Then the operations channel specific. So I think that is hard to do with the file texture :slight_smile: I guess you could basicly let Vray do this under the hood, so people wouldn’t need to convert the textures in this way. Would be nice with a d…

Ah yes, I missed the switch of the red and green channels. Yeah, we’ll probably need some way to switch the different vector map types. I’m curious how this works with PTex textures where you don’t have a mapping channel to use as a reference frame… Best regards, Vlado

Yes, I’m agree with griml0ck, this “substeps” shouldn’t steal at Vray for Maya users the time needed to research the way. We want do the map and apply it. Maybe Chaosgroup should prepare some presets for displacement vector (perhaps mudbox, xnormal, modo…). In the same way, talking about displacemen…

*Doubled posting* I’m sorry.

what size is good size for large printings?
