Hello, I was working at our great new plugin, but I had a problem when using the sandbox tools. It's not a problem of the plugin, I just try to solve it.
I made a new terrain and sculpted it. But when I used displacement on it, the triangles were separated as you can see on the image. Any ideas? I tested all the "octane mesh" properties (true-false-smoothing) and also the material's rounded edges.

Hi neo83_gr,
Looks like the original mesh is not smoothed and each face is a separate mesh.
Try smoothing the surface in Sketchup (

If that won't help, could you please send me the scene?
Thank you

Hello, I also tried what you proposed. As I said, the plugin is good , I just want to find a way to work around it.
Here is the very simple scene I made

i dont use the sketchup plugin, but for displacement, it will create those edges where you have UV seams. Maybe that is the problem?

yes, that's why I think this problem is not of the plugin and it's unsolvable too. But I'd like to know if anyone has a way to do a displaced terrain

If you unwrap you terrain with one solid UV (no seams) and use a tileable displacement texture, it should work.
