To apply displacement 3D models for stylization, use displacement maps on 3D meshes to add depth-based, textured details that align with your artistic vision.
Displacement maps are grayscale images—darker areas sink, lighter areas rise—ideal for stylized details like rough stone, fur, or exaggerated facial features. Pair them with stylized shaders (e.g., flat colors, toon shading) to make displaced details pop without realism.
Common uses: Game design (stylized characters/environments), 3D animation (cartoon/hand-drawn aesthetics), digital art (textured props).
For beginners: Try Blender’s Displace Modifier—import a free grayscale texture (e.g., noise), adjust strength to control depth, and use the Toon Shader to keep style consistent.
