Well it started a discussion, Percydaman asked the following: I have what I hope is a legitimate question along these lines. Im currently using vray for my project. It has sub-pixel displacement at rendertime. Now I never considered that to be cheating, but this latest discussion has me asking that question. I dont want to do something that will disqualify me. Its not parametric modelling in the purest sense of the word, but you CAN take a texture and use displacement to change a flat plane to highly detailed modelling. Isn't that what Bryce does? Never used it so am not totally sure. And that is good, i read from this people at least are questioning if certain techniques are fair or if they should be alowed. In the meantime Leonard posted this: While I'd love to continue debating this issue, I honestly really have other things to do and would appreciate it if we could end this here. I hope to see you at the finish line.
