3ds Max :: Displacement Effect Realtime In Viewport
Nov 27, 2011Is there a way to show a displacement map effect preview in a shaded/realistic viewport?
I know you can do it in Maya, just can't find the setting for this in Max 2012.

Photoshop :: Smooth Displacement Effect
Oct 5, 2011Filter > Distort > Displace is undervalued gem, yet it has significant drawback - the displacement does not interpolate between adjustment pixels. This shortcoming in combination with the fact that Photoshop uses very fine noise to smooth transitions between gradations in 8-bit channels and therefore creates very unsightly, jugged effect even when displacement source is a gradient. Unfortunately the filter does not work with 16-bit channels and its closest relative - Liquify uses meshes instead of images for input.
So here is my question: does any of you aware of a way, in Photoshop or otherwise to create silky smooth displacements within 2D imagery (there are bunch of software to accomplish it in 3D) using interpolated 8 bit or original 16-bit (or higher) images as source?
The attached image was produced by displacing perfectly smooth word "test" with plain black to white gradient at 999% displacement strength.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Pan Versus Realtime Pan
May 28, 2012In previous versions I have used a pan feature tied to the view toolbar. In 2013 no such pan icon is included on the view toolbar. So, I am in the process of adding (customizing) the view toolbar. I realize that I don't know the difference between "pan" and "realtime pan".
when I would use the "pan" feature, instead of the "realtime pan" feature?

After Effects :: Tracking Screen-grabbing In Realtime?
Mar 27, 2013I heard about that its possible to track/grab/capture your brush/viewport while you are working in after effects.

You can do some cool Realtime Masking Effects with it.
After Effects :: RAM Preview Not Playing Back Realtime FPS In CC
Jan 16, 2014I'm having trouble with AE CC playing a RAM preview at a realtime framerate - it's lagging behind at random speeds. This is a short image sequence (of many more to come) My iMac just seems to struggle with this, I can't figure out why. Is this a Graphics card issue?? We have an older mac here which has an older card with more ram (1024 MB) on the card, which takes longer to render the preview (is that due to less system RAM?) But, plays back with a solid 30fps framerate no worries..Is this a problem with the particular Graphics Card on this iMac? There seems to be little info about this card that I can find with After Effects.
Project task:
- I am only previewing a short (15 sec) 1920 X 1080 image sequence (either TIFF or EXR) at 30 FPS. Ram preview going at around 20-28 fps: 'fps: 20.271 / 30.00 NOT realtime'
- RAM Preview set to Full Res, 30 fps Frame Rate, Composition settings 30fps, footage 30fps
- tried lower quality settings, tried cropping video - same jerky framerate
- Even when video is rendered to a .Mov Lossless file the video is still juddery and appears to be dropping frames when played in Quick Time - VLC is better slightly.
System / Memory Preferences:
Ram shared by other apps: 4GB Ram reserved for AE: 28GB..After Effects Multiprocessing: ON Installed CPUs: 4 CPUs reserved for other apps: 2 RAM allocated per bg CPU: 6GB actual CPUs used: 2
Extra notes:
- Have tried with using less memory on the system, no diffeence - not a problem with the RAM in the iMac (which is above the recommended standard, I know, but works fine with everything)
- Running After Effects CC - no other programs running
- Works fine with other Mac we have - which is OSX Lion & After Effects 5.0 with ATI Radeon 5750 HD 1024MB Graphics Card.
- Had the same issues with After Effects 5.5
- Tried with After Effects 5.5 with Apple RAM 12GB no difference on this machine
- Monitored System CPU & GPU - no problem running at CPU 25% & GPU 40-50%

Feb 21, 2008trouble applying a displacement filter to my flattened images. I think i know how to create the displacement map. I right click on any one colour channel; duplicate it; save as a new channel; and save this new b&w image as my disp. map.
But then i go back to the image that i want 'displaced', click on the appropriate layer, go to Filter>Distort>Displace, click OK on the little dialog box and then open the previously created disp. map. Then nothing happens.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMudbox :: Baking Displacement Map
May 7, 2012I modeled a female body and imported from 3DSMAX to mudbox to texture but now i'm having trouble on baking the displacement map in MUDBOX. I'm using tiff 32 bit floating,7 x 7k, with search distance of 4 (i believe it's a relative good number). My source model is step 0(with about 2 million faces) and the other is step 2(with aprox. 6 million faces). I'm using target to closest model, smoothing only the source and wht i get is this: a big black image with one or another gray dot.
I saw several tutorials about wht might be. I changed several times the search distance, and also tried to bake in max. Nothing seems to work. Mudbox keeps leving me with a blck image and max gives me something strange that works a little as a displacement map but it is totaly untileble.The two images attached are from mudbox. One as i get, and in the other i tried messing with levels in photoshop but it didn't work too.

Nov 11, 2012I've tried to flatten a drawing using the displacement method (selecting all, then moving by displacing 0,0,1e99 and then displacing back).
Somehow I didn't select all objects and now some are on z=0 while others are not. Worse yet, I didn't notice it in time, so now some objects (dimensions, lines, etc.) have one end on z=0 and another on 1e99/-1e99.
Is there another way to make all objects have z=0? Best if I can be sure I select *all* objects (currently ctrl-A tells me some objects are on locked layers, though I can see no locked layer and some are not in current space, whatever that means).

View 6 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Smooth Displacement Filter?
Feb 26, 2004is there a way to create smooth displacements using images as map. Since displace filter has only 256 levels it consistently creates jaggy results when used with settings of 100% and above. So this filter works reasonably well for small displacements and small images, but try to displace group of pixels 500% in 10 by 10 inch file at 300 dpi even using silky smooth gradient. Desired effects can be achieved to some extent with liquify filter, but that filter in turn lacks ability to use images as maps. I hoped that 16-bit support in CS would extend to displace filter giving us 64000 levels insted of 256, but this is not the case. Gradients themselves can be very smooth now, but displace filter will not accept 16 bit files.

View 9 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Displacement Maps Plugins
Nov 9, 2005What I am looking for is some sort of plugin that takes the tediousness out of it and lets you preview it in realtime.
An ideal plugin would be able to do the following:
-view the source image - image to be displaced.
- View composite image preview(what you see in photoshop when the disp map is applied)
- View Displacement Map preview - hopefully these would be side-by side
I have an image of a face, and an image of text and I want that text to look like it is wrapped onto the face.
Select the face image (ctrl-A) & open the plugin. THis becomes the composite (preview) image
Next to that is the Disp. map. In this case I would check a box that says "use composite as displacement map" It would greyscale the image of the face, and that would be the height/depth disp. map whihc I could then fine tune.
Next to that would be where the image to be displaced is. I open up the image file of the text.
Now I see in the "Composite image" the text wrapped around the face, following the contours of the face. I can adjust the levels of the disp map to create a more dramatic or more subtle effect. WHen I'm finished I click OK.
The "file to be displaced" (in this case, the text image) can also be "same as composite"
If you have ever seen this image where it looks like a photo of a crowd taken from above, but it almost looks liek the height of the people forms Bill Clintons face, this is what this would be used for.
The composite would be the photo of the crowd. The disp map is the photo of clinton's face. SInce the displaced image and the Composite image are the same (via checkbox), you just hit apply after adjusting your disp map. It applies the disp map to the selected original image, and the lights & darks displace the original and give it that look that I just described.
- click to open a source file for the disp. map. - ideally I would be able to open even a color jpg, and it would convert it to greyscale upon opening in the plugin window.
- ability to use the selection (preview composite image) as a displacement map rather than saving & opening it up
- invert the greyscale disp map.
- ability to adjust levels of the alpha/disp map in the preview window in order to darken the darks, etc.
- ability to resize/rescale the dispmap in the preview window. THen in realtime or close to realtime I would see the results in the Source Image preivew window. This way I can shrink or grow the disp map to fit my selection if need be
- Ability to grab the disp map and move it around in order to precisely line it up against the preview image

Mar 2, 2011Can I "collapse" displacements in Maya?I mean, in Max you can use a displacement modifier with a map applied, and you can see your displacement effect in viewport. Then, you can collapse this modifier and your geometry has now the displacement effect collapsed, is a new geometry with very nice detail.This is very usefull for example to use this geometry in Mudbox with a very nice base mesh.In Softimage you can do the same thing with a push deformer with your displacement map applied.

Oct 15, 2012I am trying to move objects along a 45° angle at a distance relative to paperspace.
If the distance was always the same I could do:

However, I am having trouble with the syntax of
Move;Displacement;'spacetrans;10,10;;
It seems to work out some calculated average of those 2 values and places the object seemingly randomly.
