Displacement texture in Grasshopper Rhino 9 WIP

[martinsiegrist]

Solid and mesh difference is not working

I wouldn’t say one works less relyably than the other. Each approach has some pitfalls however. The text example has a relatively clean outline. You could almost use the Vectorize plugin to retrieve curves from your image and extrude those. Displacement is another approach and maybe more ideal for the portrait… A quick solution in Grasshopper would be to Shrinkwrap the head on the cylinder and then use mesh difference.

Following an idea in this topic, I was wondering if @AndyPayne could provide an example how to set up a displacement texture with the new Grasshopper Rhino 9 WIP components. I could not figure it out.

You can do something like this (see attached). The key is that the mesh that you’re using on your object must be very high in order for displacement to work.

Ok, that makes sense now.

Thanks
