l33t question about displacements Created 16 years ago2008-04-26 22:25:43 UTC by Spike

I've got a big problem here. I've done a part of the map, but now I want to add more displacements, and sub-divide them.Problem is I can't do it because it breaks the original displacement, and I can't subdivide all the cliff because I've made holes on them to make the doors, so if I subdivide it will break what I've been doing before.Do you know a way to only subdivide the vertex I want to subdivide?

What do you mean with 'it breaks the original displacement'? Do you want to make the other faces of a brush into displacement maps as well, without having to destroy the original dismap? If so, you can uncheck the DD button in the top button row to show these other faces. You can then make them into dismaps as you would normally do.

As for per-vertex subdivision, no, that's not possible. You can, of course, move the vertices of multiple selected dismaps at the same time using the paint geometry mode. Personally, that's what I use most of the time. Subdividing may save some time on fresh dismaps but other than that, it's not a very usefull tool.

Doesn't matter but thanks. I made it by hand, with the geometry tool.

i disagree - subdivide can be very useful, but in this case, you're right.

In dm_mudanchee, a natural rock-formation-heavy map, I hardly ever used it, if at all. But yeah, you're right, it depends on what you're using dismaps for.
