You’re missing something. POM or Parallax occlusion mapping, is a good option to replace displacement, it doesn’t increase the polygon count but it does provide depth. The only weakness it has is it can only go into the surface, not out of it. It’s better than normal mapping.

[@telefonkirtys]

Dunno about blender specifically, but parallax displacement doesn't need any specific maps. It's more of a Shader effect and if your software of choice support it. It should work with standard displacement maps.

[@gamerboygb6041]

​@telefonkirtys with enough effort, Blender can in fact support POM

[@unyu-cyberstorm64]

I don’t know what you’re source is but parallax mapping in vray is worse and slower than displacement(2D landscape), by a significant amount. Tbh i’m not sure it’s it’s useful at all.

[@maniacos2801]

The white rubber doesn't absorb light, what you mean is it diffuses all light. The reflection of a rubber is the same as a mirror of the same color however their scattering is nearly 100% so you see no gloss.

[@zairmonibutcew]

A typical glass mirror with a thin coating of silver or aluminum reflects about 85-90% of the light, while the remaining 10-15% is absorbed or scattered by the mirror material and the protective coating. The percentage can vary depending on the mirror's quality and type. For example, high-reflectivity mirrors used in scientific instruments can reflect up to 99% of light, whereas standard household mirrors have slightly lower reflectivity.

[@bbkorp]

Rubber does not absorb all light, in that case it would be just black. And mirror does not reflect all light, you can have a very dark mirror that absorba like 90% of all light but it would still be a mirror.

[@robbiekavanagh2802]

2:47 I'm not criticizing but wouldn't a rubber that absorbs all light appear black instead of white? I've been trying to understand what makes something reflective for a long time and I don't think it's just how smooth it is. You could polish any material to a 'mirror finish' of flatness and it wouldn't be as reflective as the metal used in mirrors. Why does a perfectly smooth, flat rubber surface scatter light so well? Is it that some of the light penetrates and bounces around before returning to the environment? I think this is the explanation but I'm not certain, I've always heard it explained as surface roughness being responsible but I'm not convinced.

Normal Maps and Hight Maps are so cool in video Games, It's one of the reasons the PS4 and Xbox One were such a big graphical leap from the 3 and 360

[@StudioKossai]

I have a question. Is there any possible simple and proven way to create those images for those material maps? I'm guessing that it's probably not enough to take a photo of a surface with a mobile phone (for example, a road, a tree trunk or even a lawn) and create all the maps purely from that photo so that they would be perfectly realistic in the rendered result.

[@SathishKoththolla]

Cavity, curvature, AO. Flow. and many maps are there too to utilise

[@mattburkey]

This is a great overview, but you would do well to inform newbies that not all normal maps are created equal. There are two types OpenGL and Direct X normal maps, and the difference between the two is the GREEN channel is inverted. Therefore, if you load a normal map and the shadows on it looks 'not quite right' somehow, you're using the wrong kind of normal map. In the intance of Blender - which uses OpenGL normal maps - loading in a DirectX normal map will look off. How can you tell which map is which? Sadly, there's no simple way until you apply it to your model. Luckily, the fix is simple, drop an 'RGB Curve' node between the normap map texture and the normal map node, and simply invert the green channel. Alternatively, uses a 'Separate RGB' node, with the green channel connected to an invert node, and then all channels back into a 'Combine RGB' node. Unfortunately, these two standards have co-existed for years so, you just have to fix them as you see them. A good way to check is to add a green inversion solution as detailed above and switch to a rendered view (Eevee/Cycles) and simply press 'M' to mute/unmute the node and as you toggle back and forth you can see which version works better. Keep up the great work! (The same is true loading OpenGL textures into a DirectX based engine/renderer)

[@GraffinityOfficial]

@@fury7992 well height map can be used to displace the plane but it can also be substitution for normal map, if you use bump node. This is a friendly advice. If you think something can work, try it first and then ask if something is not clear. It will be faster for you to find out than waiting for my response. 💪

[@ruy_mascarua]

I'll never understand why normal mapa must be set to non-color if they have colors

[@GraffinityOfficial]

I think it is because blender is not actually using the color information, rather data stored as colors. My theory is that Each RGB channel is used as a greyscale texture which is then converted into XYZ coordinates.

[@phizc]

I think the default is to apply gamma correction to color images. That would mess up the normal maps since they're saved with a linear color space - I.e. the difference between 0 and 1 is the same as between 254 and 255. With colors after gamma correction, the intensity change between 0 and 1 is much less than between 254 and 255. I.e. without gamma correction, going from 1 to 2 is 100% increase, while going from 100 to 101 is a 1% increase. Gamma correction makes it possible to reproduce smaller intensity changes in dark areas.

Wait isn't the roughness explanation completely wrong? what do you mean rubber absorbs light? Things that absorb light are black, rubber just diffuses the light, meaning that every ray that hits it goes into a different direction because it's uneven and porous

[@GraffinityOfficial]

You are right, my statement was wrong so let me clarify. Rubber has higher Roughness, therefore it producs more diffuse reflections where light is reflected in all directions rather than in a single direction. It also absorbs some light due to the rubber properties, but most materials reflect the same amount of light but in different ways based on how rough the rurface is. That's why the specular reflection in the principled BSDF should be mostly set to 0.5 and only the Roughness should be adjusted.
