Hey everyone, as many of you know, GREEZYBEAR and I have been hard at work lately on this new displacement generator to take the place of J-Placement. Once I found out that guy wouldn't allow his generated maps to be used in any commercial way, I knew I had to create my own. And man, is it cool!

A funny thing happened on the way-- I figured out a workflow that got substantially better results, was much faster, and generated true geometry. It's crazy, and fun, and FAST! You gotta try it out. 

I've attached the FREE version here. Just watch the video above and you can figure this out instantly. And, it should work just fine on even slower machines which displacement maps crushed. And if you like what you see, consider jumping on over to Blender Market or Gumroad and grabbing a copy for $15. 

If you do create something, please post it over on the Discord: http://cw1.me/discord as both GREEZY and I would love to see what you've done!

SIMPLE SCIFI Displacement and Geometry Generator for Blender

Introductory Pricing: $15 Blender Market: https://blendermarket.com/products/simple-scifi-pro Gumroad https://chippwalters.gumroad.com/l/simplescifi Free version: https://chippwalters.gumroad.com/l/simplescififree SIMPLE SCIFI is a systemized approach for creating full 32-bit displacement maps and instanced geometry you can use to create a variety of models, from distant cities, to spaceship details, to sci-fi objects and more. There are two versions, free and pro. The free version has a base set of DPACKS (map generator files) along with three different displacement generators that can create thousands of mutations of generated displacement images. The Pro version comes with multiple DPACKS which are sets of especially created generation objects and allows for more varied and specific types of displacement and geometry generation.

Already bought at Blendermarket! Thanks for your effort! Fantastic!

Gilax

+1 sell without looking at it

Gilax

thanks for this small price !

monkey-san

Looks great! But for me the free version crashes blender all the time???

monkey-san

Already tried! But no luck so far. Installed 3.01 but still no luck dunno. maybe i`m doomed to not being able to use this tool. ;-(

monkey-san

It works :-) but only under blender 2.93.7.....cannot make it work under 3.01 but thanks for the help Chipp!

Jan Betbese

yes, take my money xD, your products are pretty awesome! I have one question for you, I bought some in Blendermarket and some others in Gumroad (sometimes it's a mess to update), which do you prefer?

Kerim Dzafer

Thank you Chip, this is awesome gona grab it :)

chippwalters

It really doesn't matter, but overall I'd say I prefer Blender Market as they just seem to run a tighter and better ship. I've had a lot of technical issues over the years with Gumroad.

chippwalters

Seems to be a problem with some versions of Mac. We're looking into it. For what it's worth, people are saying the pro version doesn't have the issue which doesn't make any sense to me.

monkey-san

Nope! It`s crazy...still doesn`t work on my macbook 16" 2019 with Big Sur 11.6.2 under Blender 3.01. but still works on 2.93.7. I don`t get it. But again, thanks for your support!!!

Kyle F

Just got it, a bit confusing to me but I will muddle through the videos and hopefully get the jist of it.

Donald Miller

I see you have already updated the files with a text file and a K-pack. So cool!

monkey-san

I tried it, but still the same. thanks again Chipp but please don`t waste more time on this. as i seem to be the only one with this problem it`s not worth it. And maybe i`ll take the paid version anyway. And by the way... i love KitOps!!!

I'm a bit hazy on the relationship between the color map, dot map, and geometry. The color and dot maps are random? I can create color/dot maps and apply it to any geometry?

chippwalters

Yes, using a cube projection you can use the color maps to add both color and bump maps to the Sci-Fi geometry. And, similarly, you can add emissive.maps as tiny lights. And of course, if you decide to go the displacement map route, the color maps will match up exactly with the displacement maps.

chippwalters

And, certainly, you can use either map any way you wish, including on other geometry as well. You are even free to sell them if you like.
