Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Currently, the Height Field utility is for preveiwing displacement onlyuser added image

It will not render.

It is most commonly used to interactivly see the effects of altering wave height, etc. in fluid sims.

Thanks alot for all of the replies so many... I appreciate your help on this thread, thanks for viewing it. SOrry it is taking me alittle longer than usual to finnish this project, just trying to learn some new things as i go along. Yeah... Kinda crapy weekend, very unmotivational, after my post i didn't even turn on my computer for the rest of the weekend, didn't know I had so many replies. THanks for your support. Anyways, I will definetly get back on it today... I took my final photos b4 i washed my truck, now I am ready to start doing the final textures on the truck, not just test renders. Thanks alot for all of your help. I will try to post more tonight.

Rock on bud.

Sometimes ya need to unplug.


PS, just had a thought about that darn heightfield node again...

I will have to check the docs tonight, but Maya allows us to convert fluids to polys right?
And we use the heightfield node to interactivly pre-visualize the effect, so wouldn't it stand to reason that a 2d image file could pre-vis a detailed, and quick displacement, THEN convert that fluid to polys?

Yeah, you'd have some clean-up work to do, but I believe it is faster that the regular displacement stuff......

....ahhh... nevermind.....ignore meuser added image
