VRayDistanceTex doesn't respect displacement?

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues

Hi,

it seems the distance texture is not affected by displacement (through VRayDisplacementMod). I’m not 100% sure, but wasn’t that working before?

Since the VRayDisplacementMod subdivision is done after the VRayDistanceTex evaluation, so V-Ray historically doesn’t support it.
Try using 3ds Max’s Turbo Smooth and Displacement modifiers instead of VRayDisplacementMod.
（VRayDistanceTex evaluates the viewport mesh.）

Oh alright, thx. I somehow had in memory that it would calculate the distance during rendertime, so after the displacement. Bummer…
