Hi all,

is it just not possible to make high quality Displacements/Fractals (for closeup) or am I missing something?
When I make something like rounded line patterns and use them for displacement especially then they get extremely edgy and low rez looking.

How do I make procedurals for closeup that are really highdef?

thx in advance

First of all it depends on what you are placing the displacements on.  Is it a terrain, primitive or imported object. Terrains and imports take a bit more doing....

From my experience, many times you have to decrease the displacement in order for it to look good.... If I have a bump map that looks great at +1.500, then I would lower it to +0.500 for displacement.

There is the quality slider to the right of the displacement check box.....try different settings there.

For polygon objects, I've discovered that there is sometimes a difference depending on what modeler you used. Too much displacement will blow your polys apart....at times I've had to put displacement really low for it to look good on the model...

Jeez I can't believe I overlooked the quality slider...yes it works now, with very high-poly displacement indeed. What a shame.

What I do is sculpting objects from C4D to a pretty rough shape and displace them in Vue deeply. Your rockset kinda inspired me to do my own :D
