Answered: How to make the same material as this Quixel tutorial ?

MedPoly

Hi guys,first time post here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cql81lsrV2w&t=26s
In this tutorial,at 0:15 he speeded up and then at 0:23,he just made such a nice leather couch material!!!
But I think only a normal map can't achieve this effect,and I guess he made a height map( or Parallax Occlusion Mapping.Sorry,I really don't know what is it called ) during that time.
I just want to know what did he do and how to do it in Quixel Suite 2.2.2
looks like he didn't change geometry
Since Quixel Suite has been updating,the software changed a lot compared to the tutorial
This is the closest thing I have found https://learnopengl.com/#!Advanced-Lighting/Parallax-Mapping

This wasn't made with SUITE 2. It was made with an earlier non-SUITE version of NDO. You can see how it was made by watching the video in its entirety - the image is processed through NDO's Map Converter.

Thanks!!yes,I watched the entire video,I want to know he actually convert the normal map to height map right? and the eariler NDO 3d viewer using a Parallax Occlusion Mapping which I could't found in 3DO

The earlier viewer doesn't use POM. It's just normal mapping and a converted height map that you're seeing in that view. Getting the same look requires a high-res sphere for the height mapping to function in SUITE 2.

Thank you again !! I didn't realize the default cube's resolution is too low...
