2.8 Hurdles and Roadblocks

@waylow Sorry Wayne , I’ve been a left clicker since the beginning and I can’t change my ways…..

@frikkr Well well Matt, get ready for some really really really ridiculously good looking screenshots.

It’s a MatCap, the first one but what really gives it that nice looking look is the Cavity option in the workbench engine. Here are my viewport setting.

@dostovel honestly that thing click thing has blown out of proportion..

@dostovel yeah, to me its just energy wasted. but i’ll just try to ignore it. 🙂

@dostovel Haha , loving the Zoolander Gifs 😛 , you are an absolute nutter Omar. 

Thanks , Ill give it a try and see if I can make my viewport as sexy as yours 😉 

**EDIT – It was that dropdown option that has “screen” on it that I was missing, I have a super sexy viewport now 🙂 

Just one thing Omar , If it is a matcap then how do you have dark and light grey on the model?  I thought a matcap just shows only one colour? 

@frikkr Yeah, that screen space shows up when you enable cavity. The different gray’s, that’s the material viewport shading color at wok. It has several different materials on it and each one has a slight different shade of gray in its viewport color display property. 

Those viewport options man, you can spend a lot of time just messing with how you want your viewport to look and don’t get any wok done. 

@frikkr no problem, your thread isnt the issue at all that i was referring to. timing on internet. seems always go bad. 😀

@waylow @theluthier This is your captain speaking, I would like to know if this is a bug. It is about MicroDisplacement that I need to do my clouds. 

1. – In 2.79 I change the engine to Cycles
2. -In the Render tab, change the feature set from Supported to Experimental
3. – In the Geometry tab change the Subdivision Rate Preview to 1px so it matches the render 1px
4. Add in a UV Sphere, give it a SubD level 2
5. In the SubD Modifier check Adaptive
6. Give the sphere a material, in the material settings change the Displacement from Bump to True
7. In the Node editor, add in a Noise Texture, connect the factor in the Displacement 
8. And all is good, the displacement works great, it goes from the center and outwards. 

In 2.8 I do the same thing and it all comes out a horrible mess, the geometry always shoots out sideways and no matter what coordinates you change, it doe snot change the side shooting, it should come out center to outwards and above all I should be able to control that direction with the coordinates, but it wont budge for anything in the world. 

Can anyone confirm if that behavior goes the same for you? I’m using 2.8 Release candidate 2, downloaded it today July 20th 2019
