Attached Link: Displacement,Scale and Mapping

Here's a quick tutorial on the use of scale and mapping where displacements are concerned.

It's mostly for displaced rock materials and my own Rock Concert mat collection in particular.

When working with displacements, the defaults in my kit and in Vue's native collection as well are mapped with object parametric mapping. The purpose in my kit was so that Vue folk could see the displaced action on a primitive first before choosing which one to use.

However, when placed on larger structures in the background, on larger imported objects and on metablob structures, the same material unchanged can look like crap. So some tweaking is needed in the areas of mapping and scale.

Hopefully this tutorial will help a bit.

Thanks for lookin'
