Also make sure your camera is set to Orthographic instead of Perspective, perspective adds a different shade along the normal (blue to pink) Orthographic makes the area without topology one flat color

Man!! This was genius!! Perfect!! Thank you for sharing!

I steped up this use case for simulations, really a spectacular workflow🙏. Is there a displacement map matcap too?

[RubenNielsen]

This is one way, but baking seems easier and more accurate. No need to line up the camera pixel perfect.

But an interesting approach no less

[miburo]

Brilliant idea! Now, is there a way to apply this technique to non-planar models?

[Yipper]

is there a good way to do this while animating?

[AnglUki]

My copy of blender doesn't have this matcap :(

omg that's so smart that it's funny

Double click the right mouse is the only way I know how to select a full edge loop. I tried the ALT + that doesn't work. What do I look under in the preferences that gets kind of confusing to me.
