Texture mapping a sphere seamlessly

[aoktar]

thanks. Is there a way to avoid tiling in displacement ?

using vertex displacement types will help

thanks again, so I have been reading through the docs http://www.aoktar.com/octane/OCTANE%20H ... ement.html

And after playing around with subdivisions, this is how far I've got:

changing map type to height helps a little, but there's still that warped mapping problem at the top:

Should I be looking at the tri-planner?

In case anyone's wondering, I've found the best solution, for now, is to group a non-octane textured sphere in with a displacement deformer with emulate selected. Then I play around with segments and a subdivision surface to get more detail

Hi atoyuser1,

Thanks Beppe, I read through all that. I converted my sphere type to icosehedron, so all the segments are more evenly distributed.
It gives me a bald patch on one side:

Same with rounded cube:

I tried switching from object to tangent which sends it all in one direction. Am I missing something obvious?:

On another note: To get higher detail, is it best to use the Subdivision level in displacement, or up the segments on the primitive? I set Subdivision to 8 and C4D froze.

Many thanks

Hi,
if you use a procedural texture in Vector mode, it will follow a vector direction.
If you apply a procedural texture in Height mode, it will follow the normal directions of the object, but you also need to change the Noise space from UV to Texture or Object, to apply it in 3D space:

About subdivisions, it doesn’t metter if you apply them from Vector Displacement node or from Octane Object tag, but avoid to subdivide the mesh too much.
You can switch to Wireframe view mode, to check the density of the subdivision:

Sorry for my late reply. Yes, setting it to Height works, thanks!

it takes quote a bit of processor to get a sharp texture using this method, but at least it's seamless

Just in case you're not using it, don't overlook the "auto bump map" option in the displacement node. It can make a HUGE difference.

I did yes, thanks. Even with that, it seems the only way to get detailed results is to up the segments - The grey sphere on the left is a bitmap displacement, the blue one is vertex :

This is odd. Has anyone experienced similar with vertex mapping? I'm assuming it's a memory issue (I only have 16GB)
