'Type' drop-box defines output texture type: 'Displace' is the standard type used by Blender, it's directly compatible with Blender displace tools. Use same value on displace modifier strength or on texture displace 'scale' value. 'Strength' value defines how deep intersection is considered as maximum displacement. It is sort of depth map visualizing distance (or depth) of paint object intersection. So keep playing with different combinations and you can get any kind of results.ĭisplacement map is a texture supposed to be used with 'Displace' modifier or with texture displace. You can also use any output texture as a mask for Blender's procedural textures etc. If you use both paint map and wetmap, you can easily get a nice looking paint surface.

If you set wetmap to influence normal, specular and ray mirror, render should look something like this: It is a separate output because you usually want to use both paint map and wetmap simultaneously. Some 'paint effects' affect wet paint only.īasically wetmap equals to a paint map of white paint with fading enabled. White being maximum wetness, black being completely dry. Wetmap is a black-and-white texture that visualizes paint wetness. Texture influence settings used in that render: When added as a texture to the canvas object: you get paint colors. This video shows how paint map looks like: This is usually recommended to be turned on. 'Premultiply Alpha' makes color values to be multiplied by alpha while saving the texture. Pressing ESC will stop the bake.ĭynamic Paint system can output three different texture types: paint maps, wetmaps and displacement maps. You can see bake process at console window and on mouse cursor. Canvas must be UV-unwrapped and scene must have at least one active paint object. 'Bake Dynamic Paint' starts the baking process. This video shows a paint map of a fast moving object without substeps:įrame 'Begin' and 'End' values can be used to define baking start and end frames. This helps getting a smooth paint flow on fast moving objects, but also directly multiplies baking time.įor example if you set one substep, Dynamic Paint will calculate one extra sample between each frame, calculating following frames : 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc. 'Substeps' are extra frames calculated between 'real' frames. It will also slightly increase baking time. 'Antialiasing' does smoothen paint edges using a 5x multisampling method. Doubling the resolution will likely quadruple baking time and vice versa. For example using 256 will lead to 256x256 image output. 'Resolution' defines outputted texture dimensions.
