confirmation for thick cloth method

[dblhelix]

could someone simply confirm/deny that this method:

is/isn't viable this year, this version?

thank you!

It ought to work. displacement maps work on cloth surfaces.

 

however cloth is not two sided, the displacement tactic would work well on a t-shirt where you never see the inside, not so well if you were trying to make a comforter that was getting flapped around.

 

What are you trying to do?

hot dagnabbit you're quick.

 

i'm making the everlovin' classic of all times, the reaper cloak.

 

heavy-ish dense wool. yes you will see the inside.

that thread was tough just reading, but this:

since the dupe model only adds the visual detail of a different texture

implies it's specifically for double sided "model"? or i'm misunderstanding something..?

I didn't catch the part about two surfaces. that should work for something with both sides seen. Tricky. I've not tried it before, but displacement is still in A:M like it was then.

I was wondering if it would ever be possible in the coding of AM to make both sides of a patch equal where each side could be decaled separately , both sides have normals, which seems to mean no normals needed.....?

I don't know how hard that would be. IS there any other 3D program that can genuinely treat opposite sides of a single thickness surface differently?
