Vertex Displacements work in Solaris, not; regular Displacements (Octane 2021.1.3.0). I have a procedural plugged into a ToolBakedImage node then that node is plugged into the regular displacement vop node but the mesh doesn't displace ?

Thanks Creative_sheep,

We are able to replicate this and reported it to our developer.
Strangely, the nodes were connected correctly when we enable the Show Octane window (Standalone node editor).

I hope this bug can be resolved soon.

Hi Creative_Sheep,

We can confirm the Octane texture displacement will not work if the primitive meshes in Solaris do not have UV values.
Please make sure the mesh is UV mapped/Unwrapped.

vertex displacements don't need UV but regular displacements require UV, interesting !

yeah, as a render engine we expect every mesh includes UV info for the texture displacement.
Just tested using an SOP node> Mesh> UVunrapped worked fine as well!
