Interesting textures! I have a question. How would a texture like this fare as a displacement mask? I don’t have very good luck with maps to begin with. I guess I need to dig in to it and see what it is I am doing wrong. These would look awesome with some text or an image, texture showing through!
Hi Su,
This kind of ink could work as a displacement map if you’re looking for subtle wrinkles. Since displacement maps work best if they contain a large range of greys from black to white, we recommend increasing the contrast and blurring it a bit before using it. You can see a very clear walk-through of using a texture as a displacement map in our Tutorials section: http://ikedabarry.com/InkTex/tutorial-004/
Let us know if you have any questions about any of the steps. We’re glad to help.
