Siding Texture – Undefined Batten – Displacement Issue

[Tonleal]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a recurring issue with batten definition in siding textures. Because of this, I usually prefer to model the board and batten manually rather than rely on textures.

This time, I acquired a texture that seemed perfect — but the problem persists: the batten lacks definition and appears distorted, often forming a kind of "Z" shape, even when I remove the normal map.

The displacement map also fails to provide sufficient definition for the battens, and I can’t reduce the displacement too much since I still need to maintain the volume.

What could be causing this?

Attached is an image showing how the texture should look — much more defined than what you see in my render (white version).

stupid question - have you adjusted Dispacememt screen size? If its at the default setting it may need to be reduced to 1 or .5 for the  displacement to stop stepping. (Performance tag of corona settings)

I think that's perfect example where using Corona pattern would make more sense than using displacement.

Yes I did, didnt solve. But it happens with the corona native siding materials too, I thought it was a commom problem for everyone who tried to apply it.

I will try it, thanks. But considering that even with the native corona siding materials I have this same issue I thought it would be something easier to solve :(
