Et voilĂ , in time to celebrate the release of V-Ray Next, Psycho is now up for sale here. It is my first full-scale scene to have been made from scratch with V-Ray GPU in mind. Use it and abuse it if you feel so inclined, but remember it was rendered on a 1080ti with 11GB of VRAM. It may not work on smaller cards. Also, it requires Itoosoft’s Forest Pack Pro to render properly (you will lack the grass and the leaves if you don’t have it and the scene will throw an ugly error message upon loading). In any case, make sure to read the full notes on the description before you click on this “purchase” button.
Hey. It’s a good question, and not one I’m sure I have an answer for. Anything that uses a height map is going to pose problem when texturing (or even detailing) vertical faces. One option, which I haven’t tried, could be to use triplanar projection on the displaced object. It would only work if the texture is being projected after the object is divided and displaced. You’d have to text. Another would be to displace a plane in ZBrush, add additional sculpted details, export a decimated or low-poly version and bake the lost detail in a normal map. It might end up being equivalent in look and resolution to your original landscape but without the problem of loss of detail in vertical sections.
Hi BBB3VIZ,
Amazing detailed work here. I got to know about you through this link https://www.3dartistonline.com/news/2015/05/7-texturing-tricks-in-3ds-max/
I like making landscapes(gaming) like mountains, canyons etc. through displacement maps but i generally get stuck at texturing them. Even the hi res seamless textures come all stretched out and blurry on vertical face of mountains.
I create procedural textures using blend, composite, noise mix mask maps and shaders but still dont get good results. Should i use normal maps to give bump on depth of things as with bump maps bump only works up and down ?

@walter Thanks man. No, I’m a masochist and I always try to model everything myself.
Hi, did you model all the scene or mix it with some model and photos? so great! congratulations my friend!!! From argentine! 🙂
@Jonas I was actually only at street level. But it was in Winter, without foliage in the way, and the location is not actually densely built, so you can step back quite a bit and gain some perspective.
Hey Bertrand, how did you manage to scan the building? I guess you where not using a drone, since it might be hard, if not impossible to get permission to fly it around the premises of the charitè… How did you take piktures from a different angle than street level?
Thanks a lot. For modeling, this guy’s channel is a gold mine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSLLdTBwLMfTKWS56tOiQpw
Man, I am always amazed by your quad modeling skills.
Any idea where I can find some advance quad modeling explanations, preferably books or videos?
