I wonder if one could access the 3d displacement abilities of firefly thru python?

Quote - > Quote - Displacement is also limited to deforming a surface along its normals, so the types of baked deformations would be limited.

stewer (Stefan Werner - SM's maintainer of Firefly) told me that Firefly displacement is actually 3-dimensional. It accepts a vector, much like normal maps do. But only a simplified form (equivalent to bump mapping) was exposed in the material room.
