Confused by Blender vector displacement? Don’t worry about the math: we’ll make it intuitive and simple.

In this quick CG Cookie intro tutorial by Chris Bailey (@CBaileyFilm ) you will learn how to generate geometry using nothing but a shader.

That is the basic idea: using color to “fake” geometry and shape or bend your material.

Chris will show you how to take an ordinary plane and turn it into an animated ocean wave using a single shader. We’ll take an artist’s approach to get you up and running in the most intuitive way possible.

You might even start to enjoy vector displacement – who knew it was possible!
