Stone wall displacement

[D C]

Hello there!

 

I've been playing around with VrayDisplacement a lot more recently, but I'm struggling to produce the varied soft and hard edges show in the photos.

 

I'm pretty sure I've got the displacement settings nailed, but I think my textures are letting me down. Or maybe there is more to this than Displacement?

 

I've tried creating a version of the texture attached for a displacement map (levels in PS etc) but I don't get any 'pop' and the displacement pics up detail (even after bluring) that I don't wish to see! I've seen examples of VrayDisplacement and a normals map being used in conjunction???

 

If anyone has any advice, that would be awesome.

You know displacement (and bump mapping) works by pushing light (+RGB 128) areas outwards along their normal? Just trace over your map with a suitable dark brush to push in the mortar, and then select in between the parts you just painted and fill them accordingly with a lighter colour.

Try these (I haven't, but they should work).

Yes Chris, I'm aware of that of course I think it may just require more time working with the texture.

Works for me, only took a couple of minutes in photoshop.

That's similar to what I came out with initially, but I wanted a little more form on stone!

 

It's not perfect but see attached.
