How to preview displacement for objects in a scene

[snorthul]

Is there a way to "preview" how the Vray displacement mod will look in the viewport? I ask because I was thinking of using some displacement on the ground and having something on top of it...I could go and just do test renders, but that will take some time on my machine.

Is it just easier to put a displacment modifier in the stack to get the general placement and tweak from there?

If there are any "cool" techniques out there I'm all ears.

Thanks

I create a max plane, and add a displacement modifier. As far as I've seen use the same value for amount on the max diplacement as you're using on the vray displacement. Max sure you have enough segments on your plane to displace it properly.
