Hi folks,

In the theory-part of my diploma thesis I am analyzing the difference between Relief-Object and Displacement (Channel).
Therefor I would like to know on which principles the Relief-Object works, something more than: using a grayscale image as source, etc. Is it a kind of baked displacement or anything else ?

And then i want to know, what kind of displacement the channel 'Displacement' implements. Midpointdisplacement, view-dependent displacement or feature displacement or another method ?

Hopefully someone knows more about this...

Best
Sascha
