Tire : Raised letters on side : please critique

[Maya Ayanami]

try using a bump or a displacement map.
just create some text in photoshop then use it as a bump map on your tire.
since I dont know how to do uving it yet I would just do it as a projection onto your suface.

hook your file node into the tire shaders bump and the color for placement.

if your object is a nurbs;
may be project text curve into object surface

than play around.

but Listen Maya ayanami

if you are doing to use a displacement map. and if you have Mray. then use the mentalrays fine displacement. I think that is what it is called. I heard than Mrays displacement material renders faster and with higher quality then mayas default renderer.


but for this particular thing just use the bump map. unless you wnat a render that looks from the side. and you want to see the acuall bumps comeing out of the surface.

bump maps are just for the shadows. bump maps dont affect the surface. displacement maps do that.
