Under the rug

General / 29 March 2018

In one of my previous posts someone had commented they wondered if this technique would work on a carpet so I gave it a shot.

Here's the throw rug that I scanned

Since the pattern repeats I placed the large circle in the enter and planned the cut the 4 smaller in quarters so they could tile. I was able to scan a area a little bit bigger and do the fine tune cropping later in substance.

Here's the scan with the initial crop area

The graph for this is similar the the ones I've been using so far. Difference in this one is the diffuse and normal go into a muti crop node before continuing though the graph

This is what the diffuse and normal look like after the crop node

In the normal you can see a slight ridge running vertically through the center of the image. It seems there was a slight bump in the carpet that I couldn't see. I guess one of the risks of the high detail this scanning can capture is it can pick up imperfections you can't see normally.

Here's a look in Substance

and a render in Marmo on a plane tiled 4 times

Boy that line is annoying... Anyone have any suggestion on how a issue like this in a normal could be fixed? 

Also if anyone would like to see something specific scanned let me know in the comments. 

Till next time.
