Water levels in displacement

[waner_garouche]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to simulate the water levels fonction witch is available in the Vray for 3dsmax but not in the VrayforSU?

Unfortunately we don't have this option yet.

waner_garouche,

I've never heard of it, can you explain a little what it does in 3DMax? There may be a workaround.

This option is to clip away geometry from the displacement.

Please see the example two.

Re: Water levels in displacement

Other than the clip boundary quality in that example, what's the difference between that and just using a clipmap made using the displacement map as a selection mask in Photoshop?

Very quick (read: bad) example below, one standard displaced material and the same one clipmapped. Excuse the horrible colours, it's a test file for other displacement stuff.
