Displacement on custom meshes - problems

Hey Guys,

I encountered an unexpected problem. I was going to texture a custom mesh with a displacement map. I thought it would be as simple as creating the mat and throw it on the object. But: Octane either crashes or is showing nothing. The map works perfectly fine on parametric and converted objects. See the attached screenshot below. Cube works fine, the splitted piece of my geometry shows nothing, as well a created mesh with the polypen. What am I missing?

Assigning the material to a selection of the main object and switching to another projection mode beside UVW does work but is slow as hell.

Here you can see the crashlog when switching to cubic projection on the splitted part.

I attache the c4d file as well.

In short: how can i apply a displacement material to the curvy mesh?

Alright, I got the problem. It was, as i expected, because of the lack of a proper UV map. Just unwrapped it properly and now it works. Anyway, maybe the crashfile helps Ahmet in some way or the Thread points someone els in the right direction. :)

Edit: another little issue: how can I get rid of the seems showing in the screenshot? midlevel is already at 0.5

Only thing I can think of is unchecking "Angle Limit" in the Phong Tag.
