Maya Displacement Maps

In this demonstration we go through creating displacement maps and rendering them in Maya 8.5 Topics include baking displacement maps from combined geometry, rendering the results, correct AO passes, and more.

Please consider supporting Eat 3D by purchasing a HD version of this video that comes with the project files. The purchased version comes with 1 HD MP4 file at 1280x720, 2 maya scenes, and textures as seen in the video.

This is excellent. You must do this for 3ds Max.

Baking displacement maps is not a complicated process, but you excel at explaining it. Great work!

You were getting that patchy look because you used JPEGs for the displacement which uses a patch pattern for its compression scheme. You need to use TGAs TIFs or PSD's. Otherwise nice vid.
