While a good explanation of the use of displacement maps in Daz it should be noted that the object that is having the displacement applied to it must have adequate vertices for it to work; the more vertices the better the results.

A clever use of it.

[@dibsdib3697]

Nice one. I love little trick's like this that save time and money.

[@GameDeveloperTraining]

Right on

[@tweedledumart4154]

Great tutorial!

[@GameDeveloperTraining]

Thank you!

[@Eihuppel]

Did not even know this existed... 😋. Thanks

[@GameDeveloperTraining]

No problem!

[@psfilipetube]

I looked around for a bit but couldn't find the height map you used for displacement. Can you provide a link? I really would like to try this exercise.

[@GameDeveloperTraining]

i don't have a link for that file anymore but if you google height maps the internet is full of them

[@psfilipetube]

@@GameDeveloperTraining thank you, I'll try again. Really cool video. I'm pretty interested in using this technique to make surreal landscapes.
