Been watching displacement type vids and yours was very helpful - thank you, new sub.

[@LDMTX6]

This is great! I’ve always used the bump node but displace works much better.

[@morteneriksen3767]

Great work as always champ 🤜🏻

[@zawyehtut1206]

Thank you man, just what I'm looking for

[@alexdelker]

This is crazy helpful. I was trying to get this effect using SVG boolean and it was an absolute nightmare. Thank you thank you!!

[@tomcollins6989]

Andy these tutorials are brilliant. Please keep ‘em coming.

I'll do my best, thanks!

Pretty helpful. Thanks alot.

[@saif_alaslam4525]

you can use the grid fill to fill the gaps without need to extrude and collapse its very helpful to me + your tutorials is amazing

[@andymvisuals]

Thank you!

You just got a new subscriber from india❤️.. way of your teaching is awesome...hope to see more tutorials on product animation .. visualization ..

Thank you!

mannn thanks a lot

[@ealendir6986]

Great video! I have a quick question. Let's say we will arrange the metalness and roughness of the parts with the text that we separate with this displacement. How can we do that?

[@andymvisuals]

Hey, thanks! That’s a good questions! You can try to use vertex groups to apply materials on a specified area.

[@ealendir6986]

@@andymvisuals thank you so much!!

[@ScorpioXCX]

How would you add multiple displacements/logos on the same objects. For example, if you wanted the "hugo boss" to have the same effect as "Boss"? Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@andymvisuals]

That's a good question. You can add several displace modifiers and control them independently. You can even create different UV maps, it would help to correctly apply displacement for some difficult areas where your "default" UV map doesn't look good. Hope that helps.

[@raw_pc]

Tip : if your embossed edges are jagged during render just make bigger, higher quality texture.

[@andymvisuals]

Yes, good tip! I cover this in my latest video btw

[@davidwik3401]

My edges are jagged even though my png res is 3840x2160. Do I still need to crank up the resolution or is there anything else to do?

[@raw_pc]

@@davidwik3401 Make sure your texture is in 16bit and saved as PNG instead of JPG.

[@andymvisuals]

@@davidwik3401 you can check my latest video about bump maps, I explain how to make them look good. It’s applicable for displacements as well.

Good idea, sure!

[@joelkereluke4948]

Great tutorial! Any idea why my entire bottle is being displaced? If I increase Scale in the Displacement node, the bottle becomes inflated. If I crank it, the bottle will start to look like a ball.

[@andymvisuals]

Hey Joel, try to set midlevel to default 0,5 then slightly increase the scale, it might help. Also you can share your file in a Fb group (the link on the main channel page under a cover) and I’ll take a closer look :)

[@Gzymsification]

Yup. I Have exactly the same problem...

[@lawg2909]

Newbie here. Sorry for the question. But why manually do the thickness? Why not just use solidify? Or extrude inside the bottle? Just want to know if there are some different effect when done this way

[@andymvisuals]

That’s a good question actually. You can achieve same result using various methods. Though if you model inner parts manually, you have more control over thickness and can vary it the way you want it to be. So it’s kinda more precise approach compared to solidify modifier.

[@Tudemir3]

There's something maybe I missed. Did you subdivide The mesh in order to obtain more definition with The displacement. I understand that 'bump' makes a fake relief (so you don't need to subdivide so much) but I thought that, with displacement, you firstly had to dense and multiply The mesh to display The more vertexes The better.

[@andymvisuals]

I added a subd modifier at 1:49, you can use a shortcut for it: CTRL + 3 to add subd with 3 steps.

[@Tudemir3]

@@andymvisuals Thank You. Then I Missed it. It was strange for me to achieve that level of detail without any subdivision. Thank You a lot. I discovered you some days ago and I am sickly specting your Next videos ;-)

[@andymvisuals]

@@Tudemir3 you're welcome mate! And yeah, you need a really dense mesh for any kind of displacements.

[@lunaCafu]

do you see an advantage in not using solidify?

[@andymvisuals]

I prefer this method over solidify since it provides more accurate results and you can create different thicknesses which bring more realism. Though solidify is a good mod anyway.

[@papadethiethiam3197]

@@andymvisuals your method is the best nice

[@MariosKarampalis]

Nice video Andy!! If you could speak a little slower and the video also was 10% slower it would be perfect!

[@andymvisuals]

Thanks, Marios! I’ll try too make it slower, and more detailed in the course :)

[@ver204]

applying displacement and bump and scaling up the entire bottle is getting thicker and the letters are kinda broken.. is there any way that I can bump up only the letters?

[@andymvisuals]

You can try to invert an image you use as a displacement map and set midpoint to 0.3 or smth similar (make sure to set less than 0.5)

[@andymvisuals]

Also make sure object scale is set to 1, you can check it on properties tab

[@uxvoin]

Why displacement map used, if bump map is enough? The logo not really deep into glass (like 5-10cm) but 0.5-1mm max

[@andymvisuals]

You can use a normal/bump map as well for a more subtle effect. In this case bump map wouldn’t be enough for closeup renders, it would look flat. Though you can try and see if a normal map works or not.

[@GStudio20]

[@andymvisuals]

You have to make sure scale of your object is set to 1. Otherwise the modifier would give incorrect result because of a wrong object scale. Also you want to scale your object in Edit mode, not Object mode. This way the scale parameter won't be affected and will remain at 1.

[@GStudio20]

@@andymvisuals thanks for your response, but I applied the object scale and atill got that weird broken text and the object it self enlarges
