Vray Displacement + Instancing

[simone_nastasi]

Hi,
can't find a way to make displacement work with instances.

- using a displacement map on the MATERIAL: no results with tyflow, forest pack, chaos scatter

- using a displacement modifier on the instance (e.g. a sphere with vraydisplacement mod scattered over a plane) set to "use material" - same as above.

- using a displacement modifier on the instance with the bitmap in it - works only with chaos scatter with vray CPU (not gpu).

Any help? Vray 6.2.1 (cpu and gpu)

Hi, thanks for posting.

Chaos Scatter works with displacement in the material and with VRayDisplacementMod:


Forest Pack does not work in any of the two:


This might be on Itoo's part though. I will check and get back to you.

Hi, just tried, and now it works with chaos scatter, yes - but this used to work with FP and TyFlow as well in past releases. Can it be fixed please?

You could use the VRayInstancer to distribute instances instead. Make sure you enable the Particle Interface in tyFlow (Interfaces>Enable particle interface). FP surely has a similar option.

that's a possible workaround, but can this be native in vray? I could swear this used to work in the past, pretty sure works with other renderers...

Can you recall the specific versions of Forest Pack and V-Ray that worked? I tried to install older versions but they render no different that the latest.

I'll ask in the fylow fb group
