SOLVED: Bump in quixel?

kurylo3d

I am still learning quixel suite. And im curious about something. I cant find any information about adding bump around the edges of a layer.. for instace some thick paint that is chipping off.. i would like to indent it up a bit in the normal map but i have no idea how to do that. Right now its just flat color to color with no bump in the transition. How would i accomplish this?

Hi!

This is accomplished by first adding bump as a map in DDO, you don´t need to input the bump-map in any way before when creating the project. After that you create your chipped paint for example, then you go to the bump map, change the reflectance value, a higher value than default means the bump will "rise", a lower value means the bump will "sink."

Let me know if that explains what you where asking for

perfect that was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!

No worries!

How would one active it in the normal rather than bump map?

Hey Gordon,

The bump gets blended with the normal map automatically on export -- it's kept separate by DDO during editing to enable more control and better performance, but is always merged on export.
