Normal On Displacement

[LFedit]

I guess I have never really done this but after doing research it should be possible. I just have a displacement for the larger details and a normal for the smaller ones, but this happens...

It is like cutting the map in half.. Half displacement and half normal. Just on a standard plane uved..

You need to quadruple the polygons on the base mesh I think. Small displacement effects on large polygons do not work well.

I tried that as well. Still nothing. Works in Modo.. and the top right is correct in each of the polys..

Keep adding more polys until it works - it will eventually . And double-check the ray epsilon is not the issue.

I was going to talk now about to check out ray epsilon =D

Ray Epsilon didn't fix it. And I tried subdivided basically until there was 65000 polys and it just made it jaggidy still.

I have a workaround. Baked the displacment, then applied to the normals to the baked geo. just sucks because if I want to make a change I would have to change the height, then rebake, then reunwrap and re apply the normal. I guess get it right the first time

Thanks for trying to help. I wonder if anyone else will run into this problem...

If this is the case, it needs to be reported to Otoy. May I suggest saving the scene to ORBX and posting this as a bug in the Octane Standalone 2.24 thread.

Thanks
