Computing displacement - average 35% CPU usage!!!!!!!!!!

[visumporec]

I am using vray mtl + displ map on objects but the point is that the same (my old) mtl works best-faster in earlier version of vray (1.5 sp5...)

Any news Vlado about this problem?

I've been playing a lot with displacement lately. Subdivide as a modifier seems to solve most of my problems. I'd imagine though for characters that wouldn't be practical, but I've been subdividing a lot in order to put my displacement settings way down and still get a great result. Saves 60% render time in most cases on testing.

It's worth a shot.

Also, using the displacement node on a material is less desirable than the VrayDisplacementMod modifier. (Maybe someone already mentioned it.)
