  • Vray displacement not working

    Hi, I'm trying out Vray and I can't seem to get displacement to work for it. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what.

    I'm using a standard vray material which has a displacement value in V-Ray Mtl Common
    I've added a vray geometry package to the mesh and have displacement enabled.
    I've added a texture, I've tried jpegs and exr with effect set to displacement

    I get no displacement when rendering RT or VFB

    Can anyone help with what I'm missing here?

    Many thanks

    Hey, dustmite,

    Can you check this workflow: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aom...sdy3HQ0yi/view

    1. all texture should be above the material if you want to use multiple materials use V-Ray Blend Material.
    2. I think you've been used Schematic to connect Displacement to the material, which is not allowed.

      No need to use the V-Ray material and no need to add the V-Ray Geometry package.
      If you have a scene that uses displacement and works with the Modo renderer, it should work with V-Ray too.

      Hard to say what you've setup wrong without a scene.
      Note that changes to the displacement texture are not updated in RT, you have to restart it.

        Thanks for your help, I think something must be wrong, It looks like it should be simple, but I'm not seeing any results. Seems odd. I've attached a simple cube test scene.
