Quote - re bump & displacement..I dont buy any content but I'm pretty sure everyone uses bump maps these days,displacement seems to be getting wider useage also.
I've been using displacement in commercial models for a couple years now but one thing that drives me mad is the end user making a point of either turning it off..or not turning it on in render options.or not using the firefly engine.or even rendering in another app & not setting up displacement correctly.

you should include it though,when done right it's miles better than a regular bump map

 

Thanks for that note Stefan :)
I have all except you latest piece, but haven't used them in a while. Serves me well, had I used them, I'd know!!!  I'm sort of an architectural prop nut. (sorry... that was a suck-up moment)

Yes, I will definately include bump maps and displacement where I used them. To me, what I'm making just doesn't look right without them.

You brought up a good point, something I hadn't thought of. People not using firefly. (I just knew I had overlooked something!)

Hey, do I need to get your permission if I use any of your models as a backdrop in marketplace promo renders, with mention, of course? It's a wizard robe for Apollo Maximus I'm making, so some of your castle props may work really nice :)
