Displacement mapping - Polyloop

Affuso · 11th February 2007, 12:53

I try to do this with Hexagon and Carrara, the risult is not what I aspect to see.
This is the mesh sculpted in Hegaxon 2; then I exported the bump tool and a zero smoothed version for Carrara.

Did you uv map first?

Check the displacement tab on your shader in Carrara.

Seeing the blown out seams on the back of your model it looks like your amplitude is way too high. the default is 1.00 set it to .3 and enable subdivision

Done but the risult image is even worst.

Hard for me to see the image clearly - too dark here. That said, is it possible you need to adjust the "Offset" slider in the displacement tab? I've had to keep adjusting mine to 0 in order for my own maps to line up on my models properly.

you may also try lowering the Brightness of your displacement texture. say 50% or less. I looks like one side is much worse than the other. I'm not sure how you exported and imported this but Maybe flip your texture???

Problems comes because I am a lazy noob that try to learn by doing without to read the manuals.
Anyway, I was able to do this : it seems that it places a sort of maps but It is too dark.

originale su hexagon

here the final risult: is not well looking but is just a test. Newer and better looking models will coming soon
