what is static geometry in vraydisplacementmod?

HI,

There is no description in the help file about the check box "static geometry" in the raydisplacementmod right under max subdiv. Is it the same as static geometry in the render system settings? why is it in this modifier?

Thanks for pointing this out. I will make a note to update our documentation.

"Static geometry" options allows you to change the type of the displaced geometry and render it as static. This is useful for some cases.
The Default geometry settings in V-Ray System menu doesn't affect displaced geometry.

Which means that the whole displaced geometry is being generated before the render and stays in memory which can lead to faster render times, right?

Yes, exactly.

Our online documentation is now updated:
