displacement map problem - it just doesn't work

[asmorodi]

Hi,

I've been trying to apply displacement maps to a stone texture I have but it does not show up. When I turn on the displacement in the materials menu and hit preview, only a black screen is showing.

What might be the problem?

The material and displacement map are .jpg files, correctly sized to each other, etc. The multiplier is 1 (although I tried a range) and other settings within materials are defaults.

Any comments/suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

The black preview is normal for a displacement material.
Did you grouped/make component the displaced geometry?

I never rely on the material preview. I just apply the material to a small patch in SU and test render it.

40th,

I tried it in all different ways - ungrouped and also grouped, applied to the whole group and within the group, etc...

If you're using 1.05.30 I can take a look at your model.
