Im trying to figure out using displacement maps in Mental Ray with Maya.

I set it up and finally got it rendering but the displacement map is rendering inwards instead of outwards. Is the color values treated oppoisitley than Mayas inhouse displacement tool? Cause it worked fine with software render.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,... thanks!

hi

check if your normals are in the right direction

I had the same problem
and the problem was that my normals were not in the good direction
and after reverse my normals the displacement works.
