Hi Matthias,

I basically agree with Tom, and I think you should just use the tool that suits the job, whatever that may be at the moment. I use Rhino...when Studio was built it was the only tool I could really use to texture things, since Rhino had no real texture-mapping abilities at that time. So I got very comfortable with it, and I still wouldn't want to go without it. Later, as I have been writing the Rhino plugin, my goal has been to bring it to the point where working in the plugin or Studio offers a somewhat similar experience. Of course, there are aspects of Studio which are difficult to transfer into a plugin, so it remains for me a valuable tool.

Hope it helps,

JD

... and your work on the plug is really impressive!

I understand it's not easy to answer questions about displacement now but i'll try anyways..

- Can displacement be previewed in the materialeditor ?
- Will displacement produce more noise in a rendering ?
- Will displacement slow down rendering much ?
- Can we have multiple displacementmaps per material or is it locked to one displacement per Maxwell material ?
- Can displacement be set per bsdf layer within a material ? (related to above question)
- Can we see some more displacement tests from the A-Team ? please!
- Mapping of displacements, what are the possiblities ? what can be done, what can't be done ?

Thanks in advance if any of my questions can be answered.

will it be possible, to give plain clip maps like leave a thickness by using the new displacement??
that would be great

[tikal26]

displacement looks just amazing, I can't believe the shadows in that example. I am wondering how is it that I can control the height of the map.

videos do the trick too

Would be nice, but I would rather they work on the product and get it to us sooner!

what? "soon" is not fast enough... now we need it "sooner"?

I have no problem with Next limit delaying these features 10-15 more minutes (the amount of time it would take to make the video)

Sorry about that! I am from Oklahoma and it is almost time for college football...

Yay, another season of Bobby Stoops complaining about how he's being robbed. Just kidding.

Not to get too off-topic, and I don't want to start a who's better, because the recent criminal round-up at UT pretty much speaks for itself. *cough cough* Peterson's Lexus *cough cough*
