vray proxy and vray displacement

[vraytong2013]

hi, quick question here. Does vray displacement node work with vray proxy? if not, how do i apply displacement map onto a vray proxy mesh? we are using vray 2.40001 for maya here.

This is something that we currently support only in the nightly builds by just adding a vray displacement node to the proxy. If you wish to use this feature, you will need access to the nightly builds. Please contact our support@chaosgroup.com to discuss arranging access to the builds.

But keep in mind that you'll loose the memory efficiency of the proxies, because in order to apply displacement and subdivision to the proxy V-Ray needs to load the whole mesh data in memory.
