Hi guys,

I've read somewhere that displacements won't work in conjunction with bump mapping. I looked in the manual but couldn't find anything on this.

What is the current situation? Is Octane still able to use both bump and displacement maps together?

Thanks!

Bump maps are not (currently) used when there is a displacement map, and can cause artifacts, so should not be used. See the Octane Notes link in my signature for some Displacement Map guidelines.
