displacing a corner stone

[ene.xis]

i ll give it a go over the weekend

[pailhead]

anyone?

[Morbid Angel]

ill look at it tonight.

It seems to be working with 3d displacement and 'keep continuity' checked

I didn't see that option. But still, isn't 3d displacement supposed to be used with procedural maps?

[DaForce]

Not quite, they are just 2 different ways of displacing. It just so happens that procedurals only work with 3d displacement. But that isnt the rule.. as such.

Im glad you worked it out

[pailhead]

But 3d displacement is more time consuming right?

[studioDIM]

wanna upload that part of your scene and the legendary helpful folks in this forum will try and sort it out????

Quoted from helpfiles

Which method to use? In previous V-Ray versions, there was a great difference between the performance of the two methods, with the 2D mapping being faster in many cases. With the introduction of dynamic geometry handling in V-Ray 1.45.xx, 3d displacement has become a lot faster for similar or better quality compared to the 2d mapping. Still, for large displaced surfaces like oceans or mountains, the 2d mapping method might work better.

I find that 3D often uses more memory.

[studioDIM]

Indeed it does.But my results look correct with 3D disp. at default settings.
13 seconds for the render versus 6.
Smoothing preserved correctly, issue fixed.

Yeah, it works great, i just overlooked that parameter.
