Must admit, Poser has really nice displacement, it's way better than the type they use in Carrara.  I love Carrara but hate it's displacement so much I put in a request for Carrara to get the same displacement tech as DS and Poser.

That was a while ago now (version 6 I think), and it got a lot of support if I recall, but sadly Version 8.5 still has that awful low-tech version.

Would be great if we could get Steep Parallax mapping in the viewport to approximate displaced materials...
