Description
No art here..just piles of rocks.
Something I've discovered working with displacement. Proximity to the camera affects both render time and stability. It's bizarre. What was taking 47 hours to render a quarter of the way before it crashed, takes just a few minutes when you move the camera back. Also, the polycount goes up and down like crazy. 'Dynamic' displacement?
Go figure.

Cool rocks! Thanks for the hint of moving the camera. My Vue allways crashes when I try to render structures using displacement that take a large portion of the image. Far away or small portions of the image works fine.

Apparently Vue handles it's displacement like it does its procedural terrains...Interesting to know though(;

Excellent render!!!

Very stony. And something to report as bug. Sounds like one definitely. Oh yes, an excellent image as well!

Very beautiful work!!!

of how many rocks is the background rock composed? ;) also, I don't quite get what you mean by camera movement?!?! How can little cam movement change the rendertime so drastically? Also, is this "displace outwards only"?
Monsoon
The background rock is composed of two objects and the foreground is three objects. Camera movement....the displacement is evidently being calculated by Vue the same way dynamic subdivision is. The closer to the camera, the more polygons. It's only done that since the last build. Never had a problem before. I use both positive and negative displacement.

Hmmm. Nice find on the dynamic displacement issue. Cool. Really nice image :-)

Very cool, and great scene!

Well done. Vue6 still needs much work. Excellent scene.

Very interesting experiment and conclusions. I don't think Vue had displacement before version 6, though, but I'm not sure. Your rocks rock, btw!
Thelby
Yeah, but it looks So Cool, Very Nice Work Mark!!!!

love it

fantastic :)

Your rocks rock Mark! That displacement bug should be reported though

Killer rock work and thanks for the heads-up on the displacement quirk.

an awesome image!
