hmmm I'm not seeing displacement in that image. I think I might be going blind hahaha. Anton, thanks for posting and commenting on the subject. I was trying in that other thread, but well, it turned into a Poser vs Studio bash instead of new ideas and solutions for renders. BTW, I just found out that lightwave 7.5 does 8bit displacement. solution is to get a loader plugin that will read 16bit tiffs. which is only available at present for PC not mac. Maya and others will read 16bit and Zbrush has mirco something or other that reads really well for displacements. I guess what I'm attempting to say is that even high end applications are dealing with limitations and workarounds for displacement maps, not just poser and studio.
