First we’re gonna jump into FilterForge<\/a> to create a texture, as this all starts there. For this I will use a brand new filter that is really good for making grounds, fertilizer, not my filter, I downloaded it from the repository. Here is the downsized texture map, the original is 4000×4000 pixels.<\/p>\n Here is a closeup to show you the details of this texture.<\/p>\n And here is the bump map.<\/p>\n Now, we jump into Cheetah3D<\/a>. I’ve never really thought how to use this great function I will now show you in a creative way, until I came up with this idea. There is an object called Relief, which looks like this when added.<\/p>\n Now, you can really do cool things with this. If you reset it and remove all noise, you get this.<\/p>\n Here are the settings. As you can see, you can add an image as base for the height, as a height map.<\/p>\n And this is what we get.<\/p>\n And when we add the texture material, we get this.<\/p>\n But as you can see, it is a little sharp and too bumpy, so we flatten the bump map using a quick FilterForge filter I made, where you adjust low point and high point of the tone curve.<\/p>\n Now, we apply this instead as height map.<\/p>\n As you can see it now looks pretty darn realistic. So now I just export as an .obj, and import it into Poser and write it out as a .pp2 Poser prop, ready to be used in both DAZ Studio<\/a> and Poser<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today we’re gonna make some good looking 3D props for use are ground in your close up scenes.
