Wow, my comp had some serious problems rendering this one… I’m not sure if it’s something in the settings or just the fact I tried using subsurface scattering but it’s got less polygons than the last lesson and took nearly an hour for Eevee to render it.
I stayed with the molten displacement, because it’s hot here. I could not fix the band size of the wood texture. I cann’t remember if those textures can be scaled…
First I followed the lesson and created groups with single vertices on opposite sides. But the edge @Michael_Bridges mentioned in the lesson as well is very prominent, especially since I used a smooth and a rough texture with very different scales:
So in the second try I added the three “adjacent” vertices with a weight of ~70% to each of the groups which got rid of the “edge” altogether - however the motive is not the same anymore:
So I toned the weight of the adjacent vertices down to ~7% in the end, and the result looks almost as I wanted it to be (a slight artifact is still visible):
