wip: roof tiles displacement shader

[georgedrakakis]

hi all.
this is a shader of byzantine roof tiles.
it's a simple plane object with a shader attached, as usual :wink:
lots of things need to improve :art: including the annoying lines that appear in the top of the curves. :coup:

interresting shader !

I remember the sofa shader you did with shtl, hope it will be more good !

:poucehaut:

[georgedrakakis]

tnx plarot_1.
i do nothing than arch-viz and roof tiles was always a problem to me.
i am planning to make a French & Roman roof tile also.

[nazbrok]

[georgedrakakis]

ps: where is my teamate? :odile:
i bet that he is resting after 2 weeks of hard work for a music video

hi all,
holidays are over, it's time to refine the shader.
i removed the annoying lines that appear in the top of the curves.
i'll post some images soon.

haha! :D
nice shot! :mrgreen:

[vesale]

no no he's not resting, he is simply toying around with displacement here http://www.frenchcinema4d.fr/forum/index.php?topic=20258.0;topicseen

Thank you very much :efface:

[georgedrakakis]

hi all,
i did a little bit of refinements and a glossy version of the roof-tiles

my next step is to play around with alphas so i can capture a single row of the tiles
the scene file is attached

hi to all,
this is a screenshot of the roof-tile shader in a real project.
to speed things up, i didn't use the sub-polygon feature in the displacement channel settings.
i subdivided the mesh and the rendering was a lot quicker.

salut :odile:
after a long time of inactivity i started to revise the shader.
i had problems creating a single ridge of roof tiles, due to alpha-mapping problems.

i've changed the projection from cubic to UVW and everything is as expected

this is how the final shader looks like
