      Just started using v-ray and I'm converted. I created a greyscale copy of a grass texture I found on cgtextures and played around with the multiplier settings getting varying results in vray. I found the model hand on the warehouse - surprisingly it was created entirely in sketchup as every element is a component. The resulting image is biebelesque to say the least 😳 πŸ˜‰

      No displacement

      lots of displacement

            Well im impressed. How long did it take to render?

                  indeed not a very british lawn πŸ˜„

                  but what an excellent displacement demo!
                  (like remus I am keen to know the render time...)

                    very impressive!!

                    so what render engines support this displacement mapping then? i want to tinker!

                      the new (unstable) indigo, 1.15 i think, supports displacement... πŸ˜„

                          Displacement is using a map (like a bump map) to physically alter the geometry of the mesh.

                            Wow that looks really good!

                            How can you create such a model? Do you have a tutorial?

                              i'm guessing this is rather CPU intensive then, if it's diesplacing the maps then is it dramatically increasing the polycount?

                              hmm, i really wan to give this a go.

                              biebel, didn't you have a similar thread about this? could you link it as i can't find it.
                              thank you!

                                I don't know the exact time but it was around the two hour mark with 2 cores running. I think that's pretty fast

                                Here's a link to the model (if that's what your looking for). Regarding displacement I used the vray manual

                                  I can only repeat what others already have said... Very nice indeed, but what about the render time..??

                                        try to look at it at an angle. perhaps that will change something

                                          well i tried for many times to achiev this displacement (and is so easy)
                                          but i couldn t make it work is there a problem with my sketchup or my vray or my pc?
