Does anyone know if the materials from a mixed material will cast shadows on each other ?
Imagine a brick wall with a plaster coating which has come off in patches. Will the plaster cast shadows on the bricks ?

If you use bumps, then you won't get a shadow, but it still should look correct.
If you use displacement, then you should get a real shadow.

rats - I was hoping not to have to use displacements, they play havoc with this computer for some reason. I'll give it a go though - thanks for the info
