Displacement mapping is a funtion of the polygon subdivision routine, and therefore only exists at render time. It cannot by itself be exported (it doesn't effect the real polygon geometry). However many other applications can also perform displacement mapping if you export or load the displacement texture. Texture maps can be used for displacement mapping as well as procedurals - plenty of examples now appearing on this forum. Bill (also waiting)
