3dsMax Displace Mesh WMS Gap At Seam

Zoddo · Jun 2019

I am trying to create some realistic highpoly rocks in a quick way, as a learning experience of putting out good looking models in a short amount of time. By displacing a geosphere with a cellular map, and then applying more detail to it with the help of a displacement texture with a displace mesh WMS for the smaller details.

So far it's going well, but I stumbled across a problem. And that is that the displace mesh WMS modifier, creates a gap at the UV seams of a mesh:

How do I go about fixing this, without having to do a lot of annoying remodelling work by welding the vertices?

It's an inevitable consequence of the map not tiling at the seams.

Use a 3d texture instead or make it tile

The texture is seamless, been trying to make the unwrap seamless with the texture but that has been a pain in the arse.

However I found a good tutorial, maybe this will work but I have to try this when I get home.

It's only seamless if the uvs are in the same places as the edges of the texture.

i meant that the texture was seamless, thanks anyways i'll be trying to fix it this weekend. been a busy couple of weeks now....
