Displacement & Microdisplacement Mapping

by | Apr 13, 2011 | Tutorials

The displacement mapping in Carrara lets you deform the surface of an object using a shading function (texture map or procedural shader). This displacement simulates actual geometry, as opposed to bump mapping. With displacement mapping, shadows are created more accurately. You can even import 16-bit texture maps for better compatibility with third party applications, like ZBrush.
