Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on displacement maps or explain a little about them for me? I tried to use one last night and Maya took about 20 minutes "calculating" then crashed. So I can only assume that I overloaded it with perhaps too comlicated of a displacement map. But, that being said, I have never used them and I am interested in learning some about them, any suggestions? Thanks.

The manuals work pretty good. Start easy, you don't want to start displasing a dinosaur skin before you know the drill. Start with a checker texture on a NURBS-plane instead.;)
