Displacement from SU to rendering aplication tutorial

bjornkn

Where is the displacement there? I can't see any.
The Thea render disappears so quickly that you can't see anything at all. The camera angle isn't showing much of the left side neither.

srx

Here it is, but that's not the point.

Looks good
How about a view where both sides of the corner are visible?
What exactly is the point if it isn't the results?

@srx: many thanks for the tutorial, just what I needed.

Best!

irwanwr

thank you for the tutorial.
do you mind if i ask you few questions?
i still miss the way to get the displacement and how to make it.
does it also possible to do with Kerkythea?

Gaieus

No, Kerkythea cannot do displacement. Maybe in the future.

irwanwr

yes. sorry Gaieus
i just read that on the other post about doing displacement on a model created with subdividesmooth or something. and they talked about bump map and displacement map. (also read their definition in wikipedia, etc. few minutes ago).
thank you for confirming

Gaieus

Bump maps can be used in Kerky but you need not subdivide your mesh for that.

irwanwr

Gai,
it was about [TUTORIAL]: texturing organic form (subsmooth)
Frederik and you were also there, and they're talking about displacement and bump map.
thank you Gaieus.

Gaieus

Yes, but the tutorial was about Vray. Or in fact, any other renderer which supports displacement. Thea was nowhere back then (3 years ago?).

irwanwr

i know, Gai.
i read it because it also about rendering application and anything necessary for a good rendering process. just thought that it might be good to catch the main ideas in rendering works.
i am not sure whether i can afford Thea in near future. i wish Kerkythea would have some kind of the similar progress. even the smallest will do. KT is the best free render app available anyways.

Hi,

I try to make à texture with diplacement for simulating insulation material (like stone wool) in thea render :
I create this :
TextureThea
Then i follow the tutorial on this topic and i done this :
texture on bloc
After i have export the scene with the plugin in Skechup, open in TheaStudio and:
Check Geometry>smoothing>smooth
Uncheck "Normal smoothing" in Displace
The result :
box in thea

What i have missed ?

I need to use UV mapping ?

I'm a beginner in render and texture...
And I do not find a complete tutorial (step by step) about use displacement in Skeptchup and Thea...
