A first go with the new Maxwell displacement - works good and has enabled me to render displacement which have killed my usual 3D application.

To make this simple render a bit more challenging I used Titanium IOR for the material with a small amount of roughness.

Slow rendering, yes but comparible to most applications when quality settings are high.

Hey, what if you had two flat surface with a small offset, and placed the same displacement on them. Would they offset the same way, creating an "air-filled" cavity underneath?

...here is another test to show the effect of surface precision.



...and a scene-test with alpha, displacement, normalmap etc combined.

Very nice bottle, macray!

Hi Guys

your renderingsexample looks all very good

let,s go .....

thanks for the comments Tom and Renato!

JurX, very useful illustration!

It's cold here in Oslo these days...

Here is my first crack at displacement.

beautiful coloured wool!

Great examples you guys posted keep them coming!

Nice tests guys - Macray that bottle is awesome! Great use there.

For the bump/displacement thing: I agree with Mihai's point that you really need to think of displacement as a geometry alternate more than a bump alternate. If you can do it with a bump then do so - all render engines operate on that basis. The added realism is pretty nominal at things that are only 1mm high! I find it roughly 3-4 times slower so far - but thats purely anecdotal.

another quick test:

wall is bump only.
floor and jars are with displacement.

An in-progress displaced material.

The old standard material scene is no longer suitable for displacements.

not my map but have you seen this by Benr?


this is actually a displacement and not geometry, the model is just a sphere!!!
