Hi,

On this C4D tutorial how do you set up the displacer to show like there is another layer on top of the object?

Hope that make sense.

Thanks!

Hi hoi,

Here is an example, with exaggerated values, just to showcase the effect:

Scene file:

Please note that the Grow and Average parameter is based on distance. Those maps are the base to change the hight of the points; The point distance changes, and with this the calculation of the Vertex-map. If you take a more extreme value here, the feedback-loop disables the effect. But by disabling it, it changes, which results in a huge mess. Please have an eye on the Vertex Map> Layer> Use Deformed Points. I have that checked off for the Average part.

To illustrate this a little bit more, I have created a screen capture

Another gotcha might be the Value Clamping inside the Displacer> Falloff.

Enjoy
