Day 32

So today was all about displacement maps.




here are some of my working examples

As you can see the rivets are wavy, they are the same in the map so the map is creating this effect. It must be the way mudbox is raytracing, or so i believe at this point. the plan is to paint out these lines in photoshop.

Remember to use the correct colourspace in your HDRI images, 8 bit tiffs use sRGB and 32 bit .EXR use none. 

Here are my VrayDisplacementmod settings, if your not seeing anything check that displacement is turned on in vray/Global switches / displacement checked on. The setting i used are from a tutorial below. Also if you dont see anything adjust the "Amount" setting

Tutorial on settings very useful
