In this Maya tutorial we will be creating 3d pebbles from photo/texture map first we need to import the photo into Crazy Bump software and convert the pebbles photo into displacement maps and other maps as well.
Then we will create the poly plane in Maya 2018 and work into creating the shader in Arnold using the aiStandard surface and connect the displacement maps to the pebbles poly plane and work on the settings of the displacement to get it to look correct and accurate, this tutorial will help a lot if you are in a hurray and want to create a pebbled 3d effect when you are on a budget and want to create something quickly.
