Quote - For displacement, you'll need to adjust the setting in the render settings menu. I have not learned how to do this as yet. I didn't grasp why none of my displacement maps/renders would work, and that was why. So there's more to be had in this thread, I'm not totally done yet =P

Hi MattCreator.

Do you mean the "Min Displacement Bounds" setting, which is bottom middle, just above the "Delete Preset" button on that "Render Settings" screen?

As far as I know, this just needs to be set to a number that is a little bit higher than the highest displacement value you have set in any of the materials in your scene?

I've been making a displaced texture on a ground plane for a scene I'm doing...

...but after that I have need of some veins for M4... so I thought I'd have a go at painting these in the 3d paint feature of Photoshop CS5 Extended... and outputting a displacement or normal map from that... should be a good learning exercise for Photoshop anyway...

cheers ;-)
