I know it has something to do with hieghtmap or displacement map, what I need is for a plane to look like the picture:
i have been working with blender for a long time but i am still new to some things, I know it must be a simple thing I just don’t know how to do it, thanks.
also the creases look very hard in that picture is there a way to soften the hardness of edges.
you might give crazybump a try http://www.crazybump.com/
(edit) crazybump will generate a disp map from a photo of a crumpled piece of paper, but if you need help applying it, just leave another comment on this thread.
ok thanks all! Yes a normal map would work well, Can i use that picture or similar to create a normal map? what program do you recommend to make the best normal maps? I don’t have Photoshop but I do have GIMP and Paint.net, Paint,net has a normal map plugin.
Gimp has a plug in for doing all sort of bump normal maps
happy bl
One way woudl be to sculpt it in blender with Dyntopo and then in object mode use the Decimate modifier set to planar. You might get something to use as a normal map then.
You could use the ocean modifier. At the right scale and choppiness it looks pretty crumpled. It will let you bake the result to a normal map.
