Displacement - Live Link vs. Vrscene

[rusteberg]

These meshes are pretty well subdivided. I've tried everything i can think of to figure out what's going on. It renders clean through live link, but when the .vrscene is ported over to Vantage there's the obvious artifacts. Subdivision settings in vantage are set to high



This is what displacement looks like in Vantage when there's a live link from 3ds Max:


This is what the same two meshes look like in Vantage when exported as .vrscene:

Here's the max file with the two displaced parts and maps since it's too big to upload here:

Does pressing this button twice (off and on) change the result? It depends on where the camera was when the displacement was updated. The camera saved in the vrscene file may be different from where it was while you were editing the scene in live link. If you start an offline render the displacement is updated per frame when necessary.

Ah... i see. So the level of subdivision is view dependent in order to save on memory? If I zoom in and turn that on off then I get a clean displaced mesh, but it consumes more memory, and vice versa as the view is zoomed out when rendering a static camera.

That makes sense now. Thank you!

Yes, it just doesn't update every time you move the camera because it is not instant. We may have to add a more obvious button instead of using the trick with this one...
