On the other hand, everybody needs a Kram in their lives to help us go the extra mile...

I don't mind. It's not finished anyway.
I'm shure Karm will be there when I'll need him.

Regards,

Aleksander

Just fooling around with displacement and generally wasting time

yeah right, aleksandera, dont hear at kram, he always writes something like that - i wondering when he suggests you to use sss, displacement, indirect-caustics and hand-modeled participating-media for your pic - only a matter of time ...

...
I didn't suggest SSS or displacement, here and how could I suggest indirect caustics, if it's something, created automatically by Indigo? It's not that easy in most cases to tweak the scene, just to show more or less indirect caustics. - If it's a testscene, that's supposed to show them, it should be tweaked, though.

I could fold the leaf. That's the thing, which bugs me most. The rest is just fine, it's just some additional ideas.

The glasses might be hardest to fix, as I don't really know, what's wrong with them... But the most important thing still is the leaf, in my eyes.

Salt and Pepper is hard, due to the count and scale. If the shakers stay empty, that's just fine. Would just be nice, to see them.
The toothpicks are easier - except you give them in a plastic hull, which I don't expect, anyway.

This scene has potential and I only wanted to give tips - or encouragements to go on.

Thanks BbB

Very nice displacement-test. Closeup-MPD also kinda looks that way, if the map's res isn't high enough

Hey Stur. It's funny you should say that, because that's exactly what I thought when I first saw the chair. Yes! It's an actual chair. And apparently you can sit on it without falling. Here's my reference picture.

lol !

Well, I guess that if Sigmund Freud was still alive, he would have a word or two to tell the this chair's designor ...

Aleksandra : your picture is stunning !

BbB : your displacement test is stunning too !

Is this displacement a Blender function?

alexmeyer · Post by **alexmeyer** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 4:23 am

@jeffr: Yep. This is about using the displacement option in the material settings, and this is about the displacement modifier. (which, I think, is the easier/better one, but I could be mistaken)

Damn BbB, I just played around with CrazyBump, displacement and exactly the same Picture

Poorly I wasn't very happy with C4D's displacement on this... 16 bit also doesn't changed anything

But Crazy Bump is wonderful... here a C4D pic using Normal Maps & Bumpmaps rendered in C4D:

Hey, not bad! Can you imagine what we'll be able to do once we get MPD!!!

Sorry for digressing, but, I often see people using normal map AND bump map, and I don't understand why. Aren't these maps supposed to do the same thing but with a different technique ?

No, not quite...

The real geometry variants:

MPD

and

VDM

I know, in this exampe, the MDP looks far more impressive, but on a closeup, MPD wont be that good. MDP as well as Bumpmaps work in normal-direction.
VDM as well as Normalmaps work in three directions at once. None of them is the normal-direction...

Hi all,
finally found some time to play with indigo, blender and displacements (thanks to BbB 's work).
Here are my attempts.
It works fine and it's quite usable, the only limitation comes from blender itself and its memory crashes, as bbB spoted.

BbB · Post by **BbB** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 10:34 am

Beautiful, Docteur. You usual attention to detail. The first one is particularly stunning. You used several displacement modifiers in a stack, didn't you? Your pebbles have this nice bulgy look. Tell us a bit about your settings.
