The tree - Creating surface textures tip.

really nice one,
agree with oglu, i would like to see more about uv tile workflow.

"Thanks for this. One thing I didn't quite understand.. in part1, at 2:23 you use the option "sculpt model using disp map" and you go ahead and select a disp map - where has this map come from?"

Remember that I painted the color texture. Then I saved the scene so the map was written to disk. Its that color map I used for the displacement. In this way you can get your color map and displacement detail to align. When I used the Sculpt Model Using Displacement map the brightness of the color map is used by Mudbox to displace points on the surface.

dave used the colormap to displace the tree...
you can tweak the map in PS first to get cleaner results...

thanks for the vid dave...
maybe its time for some crazy painting stuff with 20 uv tiles...
cause the people out there dont know about the uv tile feature...

Brilliant, thank you.
