Displacement Modifier Idea

[Dreamerrr]

Just a quick thought, I've been playing around with the vray displacement modifier and noticed you have to render the scene to see where aboutts the object displaces to. Would it be possible to incorperate, a gizmo type object that "roughly projects" how far a material would be displaced to? Maybe an option to set how accurate you'd like it to be etc,.

Anyways, just an idea... Thanks.

I've read somewhere on this forum that you can visualize it with the standard displacement modifier. Apparently the amount value translates directly. I haven't had a chance to use this trick but I trust it works.

It does work.......... just set it to be OFF in render though......
