Geometry displacement vs Vray Displacment

[stevesideas]

If you check out the attached image you can see the difference. The vray displacement is how I want the geometry to look but for some reason the geometry version slopes differently. Is there a reason for this ?

The reason I want to use geometry is because I need to scatter rocks etc upon in so it needs to match the vray displaced mountain.

okay. It seems to be to do with gamma settings. The displacement modifier seems to ignore the gamma setting for that particular bitmap so you have to apply a colour correction to it and then set the gamma in the colour correction to 0.454 then adjust the strength of the displacement to match the vray height.

If u using forest pack, u can still scatter on vray displacement, check their manual for this!

Oh wow, that would be amazing. Thanks for letting me know
