DISPLACEMENT From noise - how?

[rodrigotrovao]

3D MAX DEFAULT NOISE procedural map. How to plug it to use as displacement?

You have subdivide surface /turbo smooth, mesh smooth..whatever/ & apply displacement modifier from stack - that's the only way to use it =) 'cos displacement on Octane render is't implimented yet. hope that helps.

It should also not work because the 3D MAX DEFAULT NOISE isn´t a Octane texture, if there isn´t a converter which converts the texture to an equivalent Octane one...

I haven't tried that with noise, but it should work in my oppinion, 'cos that noise modifier is displacing geometry before Octane kikcs in..- to be sure You can convert the mesh into poly - then You should have regular geometry /with a lot of polies & no modifiers/. I sometimes try this technique, when normal map doesn't give enough feel..

really no displacement yet!??!!.. (

Thanks a lot glimpse. You "remembered" me this max feature. I was anyway trying to do some shots using displacement maps.. but your method worked anyway. Thanks. But when i exported the rendered version to max frame buffer it was darker than the original octanes viewport.

OH Found out now.. APPLY TONE MAPPING FOR OUTPUT should be checked.
