DAMN!

Just remembered Jotero and his thread. I have some catching up to do.

Hervé: Thanks, and good tip about that sGray thingy. I'll look into it more.

Mihai: Doh! how could i miss that thanks a bunch ..guess it's time i too read that manual. Seems like non of us all ever do that

d7: Hehe, you sure managed to create one interesting thread it grew way big and fast. Btw, do you need to see more displacement examples ? or are you satisfied now

I always need to see more. Keep them coming. It has been an education.

I am going on holiday to Orlando, Florida tomorrow for 2 weeks, so whilst I am away, could you all view this topic every 5 seconds until I return, so I can beat my arch nemesis Jotero and his pesky thread!

Herve, where do I find 'sGrey' profile setting in PS? and why is it beneficial to use it?

Hi

To celebrate that i recieved my World Machine Pro 2.0 copy today i let this render all evening long while i watched the new Hulk movie at the cinema.

Some facts..
- Resolution: 1000x1000
- Displacementmap resolution: 2048x2048 16bit tiff
- Colormap 24bit jpeg
- Maxwell color landscape rendertime: 10h 23min 03sec (SL 9.80)
- Maxwell greyscale landscape rendertime: 10h 16min 12sec (SL 9.76)
- Adaptive displacement precision on both landscapes.
- Displacement height 36 units.

very nice indeed max!

[Maximus3D]

Thanks sampson

I had to try this.. sorry! but it's the head mesh from Luxology which ships with Modo. And i tested the Geometry to Brush feature inside Modo which renders out a zdepth map of your mesh. And it looks like it works very well.

amazing!

[Daniel Hruby]

Funny, I had modo open today trying to figure out how to do exactly this to make a river rock displacement map. Can you describe the workflow or point to a tutorial???

Thanx! looking good. Modo is my new favorite application.

[Maximus3D]

Thanks Renato but give credits to Luxology for their excellent head mesh.

Daniel: The workflow is easy, model your riverbed and then go up into the Texture menu and move your pointer down to where i says Brushes, enter that Brushes submenu and select Geometry to Brush and once the little window opens make sure you use Heightmap and then pick from which axis you wanna render out a depthmap. That's it!

Here's a videotutorial from LuxTV that should cover how you use the Geometry to Brush tool.

Max can you share the displacement map of the head to do some tests?

[Maximus3D]

Ofcourse i can share them iker, here you go. Have fun with the maps
