displacement/bump map
 

hi guys whats the differrence between a bump map and a displacement map i always used to think they are the same thing

A bump modifies the normal of the surface where as a displacement actually creates gemoetry based on the image at render time.

Check this out, it has some cool examples: http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150R...splacement.htm

thanks alot i finally understand the difference
