This is the best explanation of Redshift Displacement. Period. I wish I had come across this channel earlier!

Anychance you could share the JS Placement tool? looks like they are supplying it anymore on their site.

[@Zooloft]

Thanks for clarifying many things I didn't fully understand! I have a question, in the Redshift object Tag, you said it's better to always leave the 'Enable auto Bump Mapping checked but I usually only leave it checked in the case of the material not having an actual bump map. I usually found the normal map is more accurate than the Redshift auto-generated one and of you have both working at the same time it wouldn't be as accurate, is my assumption correct or we should always leave the option checked?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Leave it on always! Even with a bump map it will bring out more detail that is otherwise very expensive to achieve. 😺

Excellent! Glad it was helpful 💪

[@filippopellegrini2970]

Very useful tutorial ! I have one question, is it possible use a triplanar displacement over an heightmap created in world creator ? Because i dont know how to add detail on the side of the height map, so i want use another displacement over with triplanar node but the result is that on the side of the mountain the displacer work strange or dont work.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Great question! What you describe as a workflow should work. It may be more to do with the actual flow of nodes. It all gets calculated at the same time (displacement) so it does need to be all fed in together. Ie: Texture Node (height mapA) > No Triplanar Node > Displacement Blender > Displacement. Texture Node (height mapB) > Triplanar Node (set to I assume X / Z but not Y would be 50% grey) > Displacement Blender > Displacement. then in the Blender you would control the amount of B mixing in on the sides. I am saying 50% grey since black should be down and white is up so 50% grey should not affect it at all. Without seeing the node tree though be a bit hard to diagnose. Hope this helps though!

[@nickpinchukmultimedia1712]

can you talk about the last realse of Redshift Render Settings? They changed some options and now I am confused =(

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Ah I did not know that. I haven’t upgraded, perhaps it’s time to ;) Thanks for your support!

[@StylishGaz]

Can you explain how to get falloff in displacement, I did exactly the same steps as you but my displacement is a hard edge going up where as yours are slopes, what gives?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

I would first check to make sure under your Tessellation/UV Smoothing that it is set to All Edges.

[@StylishGaz]

@@YouAndMeAcademy Coming back to give this another shot, I didn't see your reply but it is turned on, I mean yours even have a soft cap on them, I don't understand how that is even possible. Is there something missing you didn't show? I can achieve a similar effect my making my own texture and blurring it but then it's not really a procedural solution any more. It's driving me crazy a bit is something so simple that I'm struggling to comprehend, do you perhaps have a file scene of this for my sanity?

It seems screen space adaptive doesn't work quite well, we can clearly see unnecessary subdivisions far away from the camera. Did I get things wrong?

[@polystormstudio]

You've cleared a lot of things up but not everything. The node's scale, max disp and disp scale always screwed me up and after 3 years using RS, I still fail to see the purpose of this complexity. So if you push the displacement values past the max displacement, it looks like a shitty bump map. Okay great. So why even have max displacement in the first place? And I get that scale will multiply these two values. It would have saved me time trying to figure it out by just calling it "multiply scale". After all this time and going through so many mice with the unnecessary extra clicking and going over allocated hours on jobs trying to decrypt a lot of Redshift's settings and naming, I'm ready to jump ship and get on the Octane bandwagon. Someone please prove me wrong!

[@jerostephan]

It's again Redshift giving (in this context maybe too much) control to the user. Turning up max displacement gives you longer render times, so you should only crank it up just as much as you need with the specific displacement

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Hey Mike, I’m glad this cleared some things up. I think if something is not working for you, you should for sure explore other options until you get something that feels right. Nothing is perfect, but you gotta do what is best for you. Thanks for the support 🤜🤛
