Problem with Displacement map c4d

[tubo]

hi guys
i installed octane standalone and octane c4d-plugin (both demo version) on C4D R15

i can't apply textures in displacement channels ...

i tried all kind of textures.. i mean images(several format), tried also just to add noise, it never feed in Displacement
i tried clicking the 3 dots, tried also click and drag texture in channel, copy paste etc ...

the displacement channel always stay empty

any help ?

sorry for my english i'm french

Had the same problem, my mistake was that I imported images right away in the displacement channel.

You have to first create a displacement node in the texture slot of the displacement channel (don't know why it's not already applied by default, since this texture slot doesn't accept anything else than the displacement node, weird) then you can import your texture inside the ImageTexture node.

So in the end the path to your texture looks like this : Displacement channel/Displacement node/Image texture node.

By the way, displacement works ONLY with grayscale bitmap images.
