noise as displacement map?

[Jorgensen]

i have read some posts that it is possible to use noise maps for displacement - is that true? - i can't seem to get it to work - it works fine for bump.

Hi jorgensen,
yes, you can use the new Baking texture node before adding any kind of texture node, even group of nodes to displacement.
Please, have a look at this simple example with only an Octane noise :

Hi jorgensen,
glad to hear that the scene is useful.
