Displacement On/Off per Object

[manson]

Hi,

im working with vray 2.0 and i wanted to turn displacement on and off for specific objects
without adding/removing or changing the vray displacement attributes.

so is there the posibillity to enable/disable the displacement on a per object base?

One approach could be to select the object(s) for which you want to disable displacement and then go to Create > V-Ray > V-Ray displacement > Apply single VRayDisplacement node for selection. In the resulting vrayDisplacement node, check the "Override Global Displacement" option, but leave the displacement material empty.

To return the original displacement, again select the objects and go to Create > V-Ray > V-Ray displacement > Remove VRayDisplacement from selection.

Best regards,

thx vlado. that worked and is relative practical to use.

have forgot about it that this displacement properties exists o_O
but what about a checkbox button for this in the vray displacement control attributes :P

There is one already in recent builds, but you mentioned that you didn't want to add/modify those attributes...
