How can I fast bake to Texture a displacement map

[Grigio18]

Hello everyone!

I have some objects with a complex Blend material applied and would like to simplify them.
I would like to Bake also the displacement to a single texture, what is the easiest and fastest way?
I can't find a VrayDisplacement or VrayHeight, or something similar in 3dsmax's Bake to texture.
The only option I have is to insert the displacement and blend masks into a composite and insert this composite into the diffuse of a new material, but I'm looking for a faster way since I have several materials I want to bake.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

There's no such map, I'm afraid.

This is the way to go. After you plug the composite into the diffuse or self-illumination of the fresh shaders, you could create a VRaySwitchMtl to help out with the switching before rendering.

EDIT: I'll see if this can be scripted, hang on.

I wrote you a script that will automate the process. Select the objects, which have a VRayDisplacementMod and click the button. The script will take the displacement tex, apply a new VRayMtl with the tex in the diffuse slot, and open the BTT menu with a VRayDiffuseFilterMap ready for baking. Try it out.
