Using new displacement map feature

jason_ryan337jason_ryan337 Member Posts: 63

Hi there,

I am trying to use Evan's new displacement map feature, and am struggling with a couple of things. My goal was to make a curve surface, then add a displacement map onto the front of the surface and then close up the two surfaces to make a solid. However,

  1. When I add a map to a curved surface, the mapped surface seems to always go behind the original surface instead of in front so it will make it tricky for me to close the surface since i want to build on the other side of the surface.
  2. If I did get the displacement map on the correct side, I am still not sure I know how to close up the surface to make a true lithophane type solid.

Here is my document. I would really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
