On the occasion of the official release of Blender 3.5 which now supports vector displacement map brushes for sculpting I am happy to announce the first official Octopus-VDM package with 8 VDMs, which will be free for anyone to use and is released under the creative commons license. Try and explore the possibilities and download the VDM-Pack here.
Seven new vector displacement maps were added to the collection. Check out the gallery.
New vector displacement maps were added to the collection: Three detailed scans of tree bark, a scan of leafes on the ground and a railway clamp extending the set of non natural VDMs. Have a look at the gallery.
I am happy to announce that color calibration using a color checker card has been implemented in the VDM generation pipeline. The automatic detection is performed using OpenCV and a color correction model is fitted to the observations to reproduce the ground truth colors of the card as best as possible. Different lighting conditions during image...

It was brought to light when the exiting announcement was made that Blender 3.5 will be the first version to officially...
