What's the difference between an displacementmap and a bumpmap? :shrug:

With the displacement map your modelīs polygons are actually displaced, whereas with a bump map, its only a shade/light efect, you are only giving instructions to where the renderer should give shadows to give the impression of bumps, but you donīt really have those bumps
