pixelplucker Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Starting to get real busy here. Had to do some layouts of some cast plates with depressed lettering and imprinted ceramic middles for a client to choose from. Love the displacement mapping in AM, so much easier then messing around with high density poly models or micro displacement. So much quicker for the basic texturing than just about any program I have used in the past. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve392 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I found that a bump map allso gives that fx when set to - instead of +,just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Bump wasn't extreme enough for this, the letters are really embossed in, approx 1/8". Ran into the same thing with some other models I'm making. Old days I would make my model in Amapi, unrwap it in uv mapper, head to photoslop and do my textures then over to EI where I would sometimes need to toss on dicer for any displacements. Very time consuming compared to just using AM and photoslop. One of my projects consists of 120 model/texture combinations, think I would go mad using my other programs.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 7, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think the new displacement mapping is a pretty amazing, creating the appearance of geometry where there is none. I think Martin wrote that one himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's a vast improvement over, I think, v13 when I tried dm's, found them difficult to control, and left them alone until a few weeks ago. It's a great tool and actually fun to tweak and experiment with. EDIT: Those plates are beautiful! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
