matching Vray displacement (material) with modifier

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

I need to switch from using a VrayDisplacement modifier to doing it via material because I’m switching to vrayproxies for the mesh, but I am not clear on how to set the amounts in the material (and render dialog rollout) to match the amount set in the mod.

In the mod I have it set at .25cm and offset by -.125cm - how do I set a percentage to match that, and where? Material, or rollout?

Any help much appreciated :slight_smile:

Actually… I had never tested it before, but it seems that even material level displacement doesn’t work on VrayProxies - is that correct?

EDIT: found out, no joy with proxies and displacement at all. Crap. Have to go at it another way.

Just here to tell you I am too late to answer since you already found out :wink:

I have no idea why it technically isn’t possible to do displacement on proxies but it is a darn shame! I could have made great use of that countless of times.
