Displacement isn't supported properly yet (as far as I know). Use standalone for actual results. Alternatively use a normal or bump map image. http://frozenflamecorp.com/site/pages.p ... &entryid=2

Hi,

There are known issues regarding displacement in Octane. This goes back to the rendering core, so the issue needs to be fixed there first. The issue has been longstanding, and overcoming it is a matter of adjusting workflow.

To give you more useful advice, more information about your scene will be appreciated. For instance, what use do you make of normal maps/bump maps and how do you implement them? Do you plug your texture image directly into the displacement node? The more detail the better.

Subdivide geometry 1 time (set sub.div level = 1). This should help.
