Vray Displacement vs Geometry


#1

I am running MAX2011/Vray1.5SP5

I am trying to achieve a corrugated cladding material on a project (see image ) and am testing two methods for this - with vray displacement modifier & with geometry. The former is better, as it saves modelling time.

Trouble with GI.

(See scene )
I added a vray displacement modifier to a plane using a gradient map (I also tried using an image) and I modelled the same thing with geometry.
Settings are very low to make the issue obvious.

As you can see (in this image ) there is a discrepancy between the two objects. The sheet on the top is generated with displacement and the sheet on the bottom is geometry. Why am I getting these GI errors on the displacement sheet? Shouldn’t the geometries be basically identical as far as GI calcs are concerned?

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

sweet forum.

anyone know of a forum where people respond to threads?
