This was fun. I did notice that you can really add up the vertices count if you don’t keep an eye on the subdivision surface when you are playing around. Luckily, I did not have a crash thanks to your comments about being careful! The lecture was well presented and I found no problems in understanding what was said.

Here are my cube to sphere displaced textures. And every little tweak of the settings made many differences.

With this challenge I started to ask myself: “Is it possible to complete the fun of playing with modifiers to make a simple finished image that can be shown to friends etc.” Kind of simple efforts to get an instant WOW effect. So used some textures and shaders - both my own and freebies I found around, HDRI maps, lights, camera placement etc. And here what I come up with:

  1. A porcelain fern flower
  2. Art iShock
  3. Space object QN-5931
    Photoshop used only to combine objects in one image and minimize the size of upload.

there was an inclarity with what modifier to aply as he didnt say wich one , but on the whole it was a great lesson. :wink:

From here:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.80/editors/texture_node/introduction.html
This was sad:
“Note: The texture node system is legacy and will be replaced soon by a new system. Due to this, the manual is not up to date with the latest version of Blender.”
I could not get the texture node editor to do anything, which kinda limits displacement to the flavors available in the texture “Type” drop-down… :cry:
