[TUTORIAL]: texturing organic form (subsmooth)
- 
 I love this forum. I've learned so much more since I joined. Thx to everyone! Great tutorial. I got the material distributing evenly, I just have to learn to texture properly....

 This is amazing. I never saw displacement like this before. Not that I have experience rendering. But I can use the texturing technique right away. Thanks for posting so people like me can get "edicated"! B

 Hi Kwistenbiebel, 
 Any chance of you doing a Tut on the technique of bump mapping or the way you put or change the actual surface texture? Or, is this something done in another program? I got the understanding of evenly patterning a material but you have pics showing that the surface is not smooth. Thanks in advance....

 Hi Jeff, SU doesn't support either bupmapping or displacement. That part was done in a 3rd party renderer. 
- 
 Thanks Gaieus, Appreciate that. So that would be one like Podium or Vray? Jeff 
- 
 Yes exactly. Even some of those do not do displacement (like Kerkythea at the moment) 
- 
 What is your preferrance for a rendering program. I'd like to get as much feedback and opinions as possible before I layout the money.

 I don't really render too much (no time to learn it well).I used Podium and Kerkythea (a bit more this latter one). It is free and Podium also has a free version with images limited to 500x500 pixels. Indigo is also free. 
- 
 Good stuff! Thanks 
 Jeff
- 
 wow! i want to learn this. since im using vray and loving its rendering capability. i want to learn the grass thing, it really amazed me. hope more tutorials on this. 
- 
 Hey wheay, Do you know of a better tutorial than the one on the Vray site? I'd like to learn what the settings are for and so on. Thanks... Jeff

 kwistenbiebel how did u make this organic shape? I know that may be silly question but I am still learning how to use sketchup... 
- 
 Krowka, hope this helps, it's a very crude and fast example, Biebel's shape is cleaner. [flash=600,400:3gn1ftdy]http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2335698&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1[/flash:3gn1ftdy] Displaced with ecosystem in Vue:

 Very cool Solo....how about doing a tut to show how to displace with Vray? Don't make me bag....cause I will!  
- 
 Jeff, I would like to help with V-ray but my trial has ended and I had a choice between v-ray and Vue and I'm sure you know who won. I am sure once Kwistenbiebel gets settled into Oz he will get one going, after all this is his turf.  
- 
 No worries....I'm sure he'll show us mower  
- 
 thank you very much.I wan it 
- 
 Thank u for video solo... i see that i need get some plugins  
- 
 How do you scale the texture that you have applied on that surface?? anyone can help me? 
- 
 Right click on the surface-->entity info-->click on the material's thumbnail-->edit. Or pick the material with the eyedropper, then go to the material panel-->edit.
