If you need it for terrains then theres an awsome package called World Mashine 2 abnd if you need it on objects a good way to do it is to use poseray.World mashine2 is a node based terrain builder that lets you use import a large amount of files and export to pictures or meshes in the process you have an unlimited amount of control with a comprehensive node system. If you use Poseray you even have adaptive displacement on any mesh even poser content or a large variety of meshformats. It now has a direct Kerkythea export. You can download it from the Kerky site. But it works equally in Lightworks or Vray...;) http://www.kerkythea.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=63927#63927 Post by RAYMAN // Mar 28, 2009, 4:39pm RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Here´s the poseray example on simple blockshaped objects with a noise applied http://www.world-machine.com/ http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/ Post by robert // Mar 29, 2009, 9:24am robert Total Posts: 609 This looks pretty cool.

Post by noko // Mar 29, 2009, 11:19am noko Total Posts: 684 Adaptive is cool if it is smart which normally is the problem. I've found out going with a relatively light dense mesh and then add complexity at problem areas gives a good solution while maintaining poly count down. Another option is to use normal mapper tool to reduce polycount down but yet retain the visual quality.
