High i'm trying to do what is done in this video below with the displacement maps (JPG files) that he linked in the video:

problem is i dont use the C4D, i'm using OctaneVR 3.06.4

I tried adding a displacement node but nothing seems to happen when i add the jpg texture in as a color, b&w, or as any other thing. I'm fairly new to 3d (mostly 2d concept artist) but i'm trying to get a quick city scape to paint over in photoshop. This looks like a quick easy way to do it but i'm running into these massive issues as stated.

I'm testing it on a barrel below but nothing seems to happen:

Increase the Height attribute ( at 0.001 the displacement is only 1 mm ... )
