In other forums I have seen people using geodesics for that purpose which makes sense (I believe manufactureres actually design them based upon geodesic domes/spheres). Can someone help me make a photo-realistic golfball suitable for professional marketing purposes? Thanks in advance! Bryan Post by splinters // Aug 30, 2008, 10:12am splinters Total Posts: 4148 A good bump map might work or even better, a displacement map. Quick test here using dribble for displacement and a bump map I found on google: Post by splinters // Aug 30, 2008, 10:14am splinters Total Posts: 4148 Sure you could light it to look better. Equally, you could smooth out the bump map. Here it is. Hope it helps...:D Post by parva // Sep 10, 2008, 3:22am parva Total Posts: 822 cool map Splinters :) thanks 15015 Post by splinters // Sep 10, 2008, 6:21am splinters Total Posts: 4148 Thank Google Parva...but I know what you mean. Looks great doesn't it...no need to get into complicated geometry. Is yours Dribble? Post by parva // Sep 10, 2008, 8:26am parva Total Posts: 822 I looked but couldn't find a good golfball bump. This one is really good :) ... not Dribble. A quick grass test in fryrender. Post by splinters // Sep 10, 2008, 8:29am splinters Total Posts: 4148 Cool, does it do displacement mapping? It looks like it does, but knowing your skills Parva...who can tell...;) Post by parva // Sep 10, 2008, 9:26am parva Total Posts: 822 Cool, does it do displacement mapping? yes micro triangle displacement, in raw, smooth and ultra smooth. I did the golfball with smooth and 256px density.
