[GUIDE] Youme's guide to displacement cliffs

[Vastrix]

You gotta make your brushes line up, then.

they are.
Fully touching each other and all..

Displacements.. God i hate them!
Why do they have to be so damn useful

 

[wareya]

They have to line up the entire way down. The lines on the meshes have to be aligned. That's what my screenshots are supposed to illustrate.

As in the exact same height ? :s

so not like this^

How would one do it then in that^ situation?

both corners of an edge you want to join seamlessly must be in the same place. you only have one edge there. cut the taller one horizontally at the top of the door frame so there are three

aah i see, but wouldn't i have the same issue there?

Except for this ^ causing the same issue there than(?)
i get it now, sorta
sorry to both that you had to repeat it so many times :s

Thanks

You have a ratio of 3 squares on the left to 4 squares on the right. You need it to be 2 to 4 or 4 to 4, which are ratios of 1:2 and 1:1. Nothing else will work.

Basically, you have to use the cut tool on your brush where you drew the red circle, to make ALL the lines on each brush line up. Two isn't good enough.

Indeed i see that now (at last) \o/

So that side works like a charm now..
but.. any idea on what to do here?

I hope i'm out of your hair for good after this

Should've sticked to programming..

EDIT: Lemme guess cut again on the height of the door?

 

[Vastrix]

Probably, 99% sure even

Glad i get it now \o/

Thanks guys!

About half the images in the first post aren't showing up. Would it be alright to ask for them to be fixed?

Sorry for the necro post, but this guide is helpful for a newbie like me.

I've been bugging Freyja to do a new displacement tutorial. She claims to have a superior method. I doubt YM has these pics still.

 

[Leaf_It]

Darn. Well it's still nice to have this here.

Can you refresh images, or something?

Read the last 3 replies before yours. The images are dead, and Freyja already made a new guide.
