• Displacement allows you to add larger geometric features that impact your object's outline and shadowing.
  • Displacement impacts time to first pixel (micropolygon generation) but doesn't slow down shading.
• Bump or normal maps will add small scale details
  • Bump mapping add small cost during shading (recomputed at each ray hit).
  • Note that our bump mapping nodes will NOT compute bump if the incoming ray is too "blurry", which means an absence of bump will go un-noticed.

If you have modeled a highly detailed object in ZBrush, you should consider retopologizing and extracting a :

• retopologizing to create a lightweight model
• extracting a displacement map from the high-resolution mesh.

  Tip
  Our displacement nodes have a "model displacement" input to connect the extracted displacement map.
