OctaneRender is going to blow the industry away and beyond

I have a question how does displacement will work on a cube object, does it will have keep continuity or it will have come out edges??? this is just an example----

It will. There is no way to avoid it. you can play with displacement shift to keep seams as close as possible to each other

Hi Karba,

will it be possible to use Water Level with the displacement ?

Thank you !

Not true. You just have not found a way yet.

What will happen if rounded edges are applied to a displacement surface joint like this?

Seeker

Can't you just chamfer this edge and unwrap it properly to avoid this kind of edge?
Games use it this way since a long time. If you just add a cubic unwrap the seam will appear. with proper UV-Mapping it shouldn't.

Will there be a way to set the midpoint for displacements. So that you can have negative and positive displacements?

+1 : Very important to avoid changing the average volume of models (Bump on characters clothes for example) !

Thanks karba, if you have some example with the width a wall facing to the camera it will help alot, if its not i will wait a bit to someone makes an expample, yes i can chamfered the walls but i have it tested with other software Corona with a wall chamfered occurs the same cut edges it will display but not like if the wall was a square object,they look less.

Waa !
I just discovered this topic and i'm pretty impressed.
The truck animation is just awesome.
What scatterer did you use for vegetation?
Was the truck anim achieved with craft director, madcar,ant simulator ???

Can't wait to have all this stuffs, especialy also the hair (I just post my first Octane rendering in the galery; Hair was achieved with geometry and i'm not pretty satisfacted of the result...). link below:
