whats up with the maya 4.5 displacement maps? dont they react on gradients in the b&w displacement image?

my tests always end up the same. either/or. a flat surface with almost no displacement at all (the displ. image is extremely dark to normal), or really heavy displacement (the image is at normal brightess or a bit darker).

is it the contrasts doing the job or does it work like a regular bump-thingie?

If Im not all wrong you should have a lock in the connector editor.. see whats coming and going, thats what we did, if Im right it was connected to alpha.. But some things in maya is really "wierd" and could have been easier and a lot of it conserning shaders.. just all the utilitys, where the heck do all go ??

good luck
