Hi bepeg4d.
Even though your suggestions didnt work out in my specific case, I will remember them for the future. It seems they would be simpler than how i ended up doing it, but what i noticed is that some techniques work well for some images and not others. I had to take the long way to the finish line because my object needed controlled displacement on specific positions.
1. Blur settings in displacement didnt have an effect (My solution was to blur the grayscale image slightly in photoshop)
2. Polygon selection didnt work because i needed embossed type on the sides AND on the top. Meaning that I needed two materials each with their own polygon selection. Octane didnt recognize TWO materials with separate selection tags. Is this my fault or does Octane only allow for one material with a selection tag per object? (My solution was to UV unwrap and it worked great, but UV unwrapping is no fun).
P.S. Thanks for the help, bepeg4d. I appreciate your time! And thanks to you, Studio21 for your suggestion.
Here is a screen shot of the result. It's only a small portion due to respect for my client.
