      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?

                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.

                          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...

                              Krowka, hope this helps, it's a very crude and fast example, Biebel's shape is cleaner.

                                  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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                            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.
