.exr displacement node

[bertritude]

Hi,
I started to work with megascans quixel and try to use .exr 32 bits displacement files.
I'm not able to displace something all the time.
Some files doesn't works and only .jpeg ones can be used for displacement node.

Is it an octane render bug or a megascan file problem ?

Thanks

Hi bertritude,
I guess that the free displacement examples in megascan are in jpg format only, and as you said, they works as expected. Sorry I don't have a megascan example in exr format, does it change if you switch to Normal instead of Float type?

Hi Beppe,

I discovered some .exr files from megascans works and other don't...
so I think it's a quixel files problem.


it works in normal and float mode.

In case anyone else is having this problem, a workaround is to take the megascans exr into photoshop, covert it to greyscale, and save it as a tif.
