    @Blendermania: Instead of manually subdivide your Mesh (00:03:00 Minutes) you could use the Subdivision Surface Modifier to subdive two more times. Just adjust the "Subdivision" - Settings on the Modifier: "Viewport" (for the times the mesh gets subdivided in Edit-Mode) - from 1 to 3 times - or adjust the "Render" Layers, so the changes will only apply in the Render Viewport. :)

    This works for embossing as well, you just have to invert the black and white on the original image.

    use a mix shader node you'll have to create a mask so that your new principled shader only appears on the engraved portion, but you could use the image you created to create your normal map (not the normal map image but the one you used for displacement) as a mask. Plug the mask image into the factor portion of the mix shader node.

    You can engrave with a bump map. If you want me to show you just go to blendermania3d.com and post in the forums and can help you there

  • @synth6754
    @synth675411 ай бұрын

    you could probably skip the whole thing with baking the normal map by using a bump node in the shader instead

  • @andreasprott2182

    Is it possible to actually edit the color of the text on this and just get the text alone?

  • @blendermania3d

    @blendermania3d

    Жыл бұрын

    Absolutely. I would bake the map as a roughness or black and white map. Then put the map into a mix shader into the factor and use it as a mask. Then you can control the color of the text and the color of the surrounding area. If you want more help on that you can PM me on blendermania3d.com on the public chat or post on the forum there and will help you out

    I'd like to go ahead and say this is a very useful and informative video and I'm going to go ahead and apply this knowledge to my own project but I'd just like to go ahead and say that maybe you don't need all those "go ahead and" instances. Maybe it's just me but I find them distracting. But please go ahead and keep making these excellent videos. (Experiment: read my comment and skip all the instances of "go ahead and" except the one in quotes and see if it makes the slightest difference to the meaning)
