You could only use bump maps in Keyshot to simulate textures, but that’s all. Up until now, perhaps the biggest thing missing from Keyshot’s arsenal was its support for depth or displacement maps. If you have any further questions about using our maps please feel free to get in touch with us.The guys at Luxion just released their latest version of Keyshot, and I’m absolutely thrilled because displacement maps are one feature I was rather impatiently waiting for! Displacement (or depth) maps are an absolutely great way to create real textures that can absolutely make your renders POP! Let’s take a look at what this newfangled feature is and how to master it! DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUMP AND DISPLACEMENT MAPS It's possible that offline render engines such as Cycles and Vray will eventually start to make use of these maps but currently, they can be ignored when setting up your materials. It's currently only utilized in real-time engines such as Marmoset and Unreal Engine 4. This is a relatively new map that is used to map fabrics and other materials with microfibers look more realistic. It really is a matter of personal preference. Sometimes shadows and highlights can be too heavy, or even unnecessary if you're using a displacement texture on your mesh.Ī good rule of thumb is: try the Albedo map first (use it wherever you would normally put the Diffuse), if it looks good, great! But if it's lacking definition, switch to the Diffuse.
Well, an albedo map can actually be more realistic depending on what you need. It is very similar, but with one extra benefit: all the shadows and highlights have been removed. Some of our textures include an albedo texture in addition to the color texture. Use the map on a blend mode of Multiply with the Diffuse/Albedo. So if you want your detail to have more pronounced detail and shadows, you may wish to use the AO map together with your Diffuse or Albedo texture. Sometimes you actually want the opposite of the Albedo map: more shadows!
We've covered the main types of map, let's take a look at some of the additional ones that will be found on some of our materials. Metals reflect light very differently to everything else so this map can make a huge difference to the final look. It tells the renderer what part of a surface should be treated as Metal and what parts should be treated as non-metal. You'll find an extra map include called Metalness.
