2D Displacement

[ValeroStudio]

Can someone explain the difference between 2D Displacement and Normal Displacement? 2D seems to be much faster but whats the price you are paying?

Hi,

There are certain limitations when it comes to 2d displacement:
1. No GPU support
2. 3d texture placement can't be used
3. Changing the texture tiling in the V-Ray texture placement parameters will not work properly - this one will be fixed with the next release
4. Component definition or a group with two differently scaled materials applied to some of it's children will still render with a single displacement texture scale (this is an edge case really and not a recommended setup)

Otherwise it's fast and very accurate.

Regards,
Konstantin
