This is really awsome baggnsbill!  You're helping me out quite a bit, and I'm sure there are others that will benefit from this.  Bump and Dissplacement Maps seem to be very primitive Poser lessons; but without a finger on Gray Value, VS. Displacement Node Value, this is very confusing.

*Agreed, but with Black(0) as a negative shift(downward,) when we subtracted .5 from all of the Gray(.5;) should'nt we have gotten another big(negative) YTrans Shift(of seemingly the majority of the cloth plane;) as I was mentioning in reference to my screenshot, from Thu, Apr 5, 2007 4:30 pm?
