Bump and Displacement Maps in Vray for Sketchup Tutorial

How does bump mapping work?
Bump maps are one of the oldest form of image map types and have been used for decades to add surface relief to models. Bump maps are not very resource-intensive, making them a popular choice for a wide range of relief work.
The catch with bump maps is that they cannot render corner or edge detail, which makes them problematic in certain situations, for example adding brick detail to a corner edge. Bump maps are by far the easiest type of relief image to manage as they work with practically any surface, no matter the geometry.
What does a displacement map do?
Displacement maps, although they can be derived from the same type of image as a bump map, are much more powerful. They can truly deform geometry up to and including edge detail, making them ideal for a much wider range of uses such as terrain creation (sometimes a displacement is called a height map for large-scale deformation) and detail modelling.
The reason that displacement maps are not as commonly used is that they can be computationally intensive and they tend to like high-resolution geometry to work with, which can make them less than ideal for some tasks.
Either way, understanding bump and displacement maps will enable any artist to add detail to their models more quickly and intuitively than through other image-based methods.

Actually this is the first time i didn't skip a video !!! Really direct and great way to explain 👍

[@66meikou]

Displacement was driving me bonkers and I've been using vrat for max for years. The whole apply the mat to the group worked. It was a WTF moment. Kudos.

[@musdhofathaani744]

You just solved all my problems. Well explained. Great 👍

[@SketchupStyle]

Thanks 😉

[@promiseguy02]

Mannnnnnnn! Thank you! We hope to have you back on youtube

[@matthewhaines5191]

Perfect. Just what i was looking for. very well explained. Many thanks.

[@SketchupStyle]

Thank you. Glad I helped

[@valsimotdesign]

That's exactly what I wanted to say. Stay safe ,..man:)

[@vishnusamy2338]

Crisp and clear cut explanation. Thanks,🙏

[@gabrielmacarron]

Lot of time looking for this solution. Thank you very much!

[@Archzed]

Thank you 🙂, this is the best explanation, not too slow not too fast, or annoying to continue, it is great and on point 👌

[@bharatlimbu6437]

thanks a lot.. i was wondering why the displacement was not working.. perfect videos for starters like me

[@SketchupStyle]

Glad it helped

[@naciamaJYute]

Wow!! Finally I understand this. My Sketchup/ Vray skills just hit puberty!

[@SketchupStyle]

😂😂😂😂😂 Glad You like it

[@brianberg9450]

I appreciate your comparison of bump and displacement maps. It looks like displacement maps will make for larger files as it is creating geometry. That being said, if you were making a scene with several sky scrapers, would bump maps be sufficient?

[@eduardobaca_arq]

Omg broooo. You just chnage my world with groups and Components with Displacement omg!

[@SketchupStyle]

Glad I was helpful

[@SmartBunnyTuts]

Thanks a lot, I just trying to solve this problem, You are so helpful man

[@SketchupStyle]

I'm glad you liked it 😀 and welcome to the channel!

[@mikkelbarker]

Great with answers to all the important but undescribed issues that caused me frustration from other videos! Do you also have a good description of how to create large surfaces and avoid repetitions - for instance, a large brick wall?

[@pauljamesleecryptocurrency9088]

Thanks for this. Excellent job. 👍

[@zarakkhan655]

Beautiful brother . its very nice can you please make more video like this on v-ray setting. its very help full . thanks

[@ayhanaycan5432]

arkadaşım, en içten teşekkürlerimi sunarım

[@OldSchool-zz3ee]

Thank u for the clear explanation sir

[@ManojSaminda]

this one video help me a lot, thanks man ...keep up, subscribed, do some video like this no one does

[@SketchupStyle]

Glad it helped

[@punchy001]

Okay, but how do you create the disp./bump maps from scratch. Lets say for a carpet?

[@user-oy4rm2id7z]

thank you

[@bagaoelishadavid7029]

Thank you!!!

[@mandylam281]

Just what I need! Thank you!!

[@SketchupStyle]

You're so welcome!

[@racinendiaye1702]

thanks man you helped me a lot

[@user-vl1yn9jn6s]

FANTASTIC!

[@SketchupStyle]

Many thanks!

[@katerinadasteridou8476]

exactly what i wanted. thank you!

[@SketchupStyle]

Glad it helped!

[@amjindesigns]

Thank you 👍

[@rangerarmonika]

Ok, now where to find Displacement tool if there is none?

[@TrungNguyen-je3df]

Thanks for video, you can make video about make material.

[@wrenzocinar9569]

Nice!

[@brittabradyr372]

hi~I want to know how to move the map to the right position？

[@j.g.7229]

Perfect. Thank you

[@SketchupStyle]

You're welcome!

[@dervisgundogdu1121]

good job mate thank you

[@SketchupStyle]

No problem 👍

[@user-nt1lz3mi2k]

a nice awesome good great

[@trondeltap5410]

Displacement Maps dont work any more on the version im using. does any body have an alternative ? i have this pop up telling me some thing but i dont know were to look " This is a legacy attribute that will be removed in the future. consider using the geometry displacement modifier instead. it can be created as a geometry asset in the outliner and can then be applied to objects in the scene. note that displacement effect will no longer appear in the priview swatch"

[@anya4854]

Can i ask where to get Displacement and Bump Map?

[@ealendir6986]

Thank you so much

[@SketchupStyle]

Thanks for watching 😉

[@phantung5046]

THANK YOU BRO :))

[@SketchupStyle]

You're welcome!

[@AdaaCarroll]

Thank you a lot for this tutorial!! keep doing!

[@SketchupStyle]

Thanks, will do!

[@SUL-KSA]

I don't have Bump and Displacement Maps, how can I create them?

[@SketchupStyle]

You can create them with image editing software, like Photoshop, or, and this is maybe easier, download them from the internet

[@triumfdula8830]

Can we add different displacement or bump map like wrinkle map on a cloth texture and how do we controlle it's size, can we increase or decrease the wrinkles, can't find it how?

[@SketchupStyle]

You can add all kinds of images as a bump or displacement map. Watch the video once more, cause that is exactly what I'm talking about

[@vrayforsketchupVN]

tuyệt vời

[@prasanthbabukathi1828]

i applied all setting as you, but bump/displacement are not working in software sir, please give any suggestion or give me any solution sir

[@SketchupStyle]

Your bump material needs to be in a separate group containing only that material. And that material needs to be applied to the outside of the group. If you have more than 1 material inside a group, bump and displacement won't work.

[@prasanthbabukathi1828]

@@SketchupStyle thank you so much sir

[@jay-ralde4253]

can i ask for the link of the texture you used in this video?

[@EnzoFerrar1]

Pls set your voice setting on 7.1 headset you speak at my behind :D :D:D :D
