[@rodshelley1170]

Yeah I love stuff like this! I do lots of compositing and SFX for my graphic novel and really enjoy tips and new techniques. I've used displacement maps a few times, but this was pretty darn clever! Love it! Like button = dust!

[@Steven.v1062]

thanks mate

[@cellularcloud3814]

Thank you

[@spoonfulofdreams]

Excellent tutorial. It leaves no guessing. Sometimes a tutorial will start really slowly and then when you get to the really tricky stuff assumptions are made about the viewers knowledge and the whole exercise becomes pointless.

[@benito4525]

On the off chance that you're gonna read this, just spent 3 hours trying to get this done for an album cover, your vid is the one that ended up helping me get it done. Thanks man!
PS : It's like fucking 3 AM and I'm tired so I'm like extra excited I managed

[@photoshopcafe]

Really glad to help!

[@davetyler8214]

Yes, please. Anything you can offer on compositing.

[@akashadearg-due1435]

Fantastic

[@DaGauntlett]

Nice tutorial. Keep the coming. ;-)

[@chepo1956]

Great tutorial as always my friend. Displacement maps have always confused me a bit, but now I'm starting to see the logic behind them. The way you explain is awesome. So to answer your question, I'd say a big YES!. I'd love to see more tutorials of this type of compositing. Sometimes you might know the function of a specific tool but when and how to implement the use of them is another story; this is where I get stuck sometimes. You have a gift for teaching so hopefully and eventually I will get a grasp.

[@erniebiggs8343]

The best thing is this tutorial can be applied to other uses. Keep'em coming and I'll keep liking them!

[@dbroselogan]

Thanks for this lesson.
I am practicing textures I have a logo on a transparent background.
I’d like to turn that logo into glass that glass that had been cracked.
What lesson would I find to turn the logo into glass and would this technique work for that.
Flat glass and smooth glass with a curved edge.
How do I do this.
I’ve had so much help with textures on this site and want to thank them.

[@DOGMA85]

Great Bullseye! /m/

[@ArturJBCosta]

Thumbs UP!

[@igorr4682]

Gr8 video ! Now, displacement maps tend to work better if they are slightly blurred like 1 or 2 px

[@RawndaFlowers]

You’re a great teacher 😁

[@agustintorresgtr]

zakk wylde guitar !

[@fitzladams]

Yes please more of the same.

[@MisterK-YT]

Is that Zakk Wylde’s guitar?

[@seefroggysee]

When compositing like this you always make the smaller image larger. Why not make the larger image smaller?

[@photoshopcafe]

because the glass doesn't have any critical detail in it like the face does. And its just a tutorial, so I wont be using the image for anything.

[@CaptChet]

Zzzzzz................

[@darkbulb367]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT DOESN'T TAKE 4 MINUTES TO DECIDE WHERE YOU PUT IT. WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT LATER.
