How can I export the details after adding the Surface Noise details?
I tried Displace and Normal, it doesn’t show in the previews.
Thank you.
Hey there,
you have to actually apply the noise to your model or even better to a 3D Layer to have a bit more control over the displacement. Go to Tool/Surface/Apply to mesh.
Hope that helps.
Surface noise applied through Tool > Surface is merely a visual approximation of the noise settings until you press Tool > Surface > Apply To Mesh.
Once you have actually modified a subtool’s geometry you can generate normal and displacement maps that reflect the surface noise settings. In other words, normal and displacement maps are based solely on the available geometry. Materials and surface noise settings have no effect on the generated maps.
When you apply the surface noise to the mesh you might find it better to lessen the Tool > Surface > Strength value. What you see in the surface noise preview is just that, a preview. A couple of undos and you should get a feeling for the value range.
Hope that helps.
Edit: doh, a bit to slow.
lol TVEyes … this ain’t a shoot out 
But I like shoot outs ! Well at least the ones where you need to hit the yellow rubber duckie.
The “Edit:” was more so that I did not come across as a busybody when you had already answered the question. In 24 hours no one can see I replied 2 minutes after you.
What are you talking about? I can’t remember anything!!! :D:D
Hey TVeyes & dsoellbuster,
Thank you both for the reply. I think that I was missing the step of “Apply to mesh” (Tool/Surface/Apply to mesh). Silly me but hey, that’s why you guys are here to help ;).
Again, thank you both very much. Appreciated.
