Maya at a Glance: Bump map, Normal Maps and Displacement maps in Arnold

[@WhiteWerewolfo]

This helped me out a lot! Been trying to get a refresher on texturing stuff manually in maya cause i just graduated college. You had some great advice!

[@sarkamari]

Glad i could help

[@cloudjumper5324]

Hi Reza! Any chance you will explain how to use both normal map and bump/height map at the same time using arnold shaders?

[@arakoabs]

is there any way to put hard edges and not have them look soft with the displacement?

[@sarkamari]

Yep, one trick is you can try using a normal map or bump map alongside the displacement to keep those edges sharp. Also, check the tessellation settings in Arnold to make sure it's not smoothing out the edges.

Bro Sooooo Clean soung,love it

[@sarkamari]

Appreciate that

Where i put the height map in an aistandarsurface??

[@MouettePondeuse]

Height map is basically a displacement map

[@nourghafarji]

number one tutorial! so good!

[@sarkamari]

Thank you

[@el_Sergey]

thank you, you helped me a lot

[@Kinkoyaburi]

Very good explanation. I want to ask: for displacement, I just plug my height map directly into the shading group, and it works. I input my settings under the object's Arnold - subdivision - displacement attributes. Is the middle man - the displacement shader preferable to use?

[@cyrielkilller]

Hi ! Thanks ! Can we plug Bump map + a normal map ?

[@arpitagarwal9790]

thanks for sharing

[@miladhatam]

Nicely done. Btw it would have been better if you had changed the color spaces of the maps to "RAW".

[@sarkamari]

Thank you Milad Jan and you're absolutely right. I do explain the colour space in my Substance to Maya workflow video. This one only focuses on Arnold nodes. :)

realy nice work broo

Hi, I seriously have a doubt. How to use seamless pbr on a large non spherical or cubical mesh like a cliff or a hill. I am newbie...

[@sarkamari]

Disp map is usually driven or created by CLR map and to have a clean color map you need to have a clean uv. As you can see everything is connected here. My advice is to hide the uv seams where it's less visible and get assistance from substance 3D or Knald to generate your displacement map where possible

[@gokulsarma2648]

@@sarkamari thanks man! and also one more doubt. How to remove this tile repetition

[@sohailshaikh7180]

normal map not working plz help

[@ravidadhaniya2339]
