search displacement map for roof tiles

[max.m]

i face the problem that my roff tiles appear too flat. i think a displacement map could fix this.

the problem is, i have none for a roof with roof tiles.

Would be thankfull for infos where i could get one. (best would be for free)

Might I suggest that you open Photoshop and create one yourself.

 

Displacement maps work best I think if they have been custom created to suit a particular diffuse map. I would open your tile texture in Photoshop then create a new grayscale image over the top, obviously painting the image white on the parts of the tile that you would like to see raised and vice versa.

Here is a modeling solution, but as an arch viz person you should be able to paint a displacement map for this in Photoshop in about half an hour. It is not that difficult.

Hey Max,

There are a couple of roof tiles in http://www.vray-materials.de . Chem them out, as the link says they are vray materials. If you are not using vray, you might still benefit from the displacement maps that come along with the materials.

Use Roof Designer plug-in to create realistic roof tile.But the more realistic roof tile come with more polygons count in your scene.
