Hi @andy picking up on a previous problem, I encountered a strange problem with the displacement of the PBR material. I accidentally came to this after you explained that the default displacement distance was 100mm, which would adjust according to the units. While I was checking it in meters (sma…

Tweaking displacement while Raytraced is running will currently not work, you’ll have to toggle the viewport to a different mode and back to Raytraced to see the correct state. It basically comes down to the fact that displacement in Cycles is actually applied to the mesh before rendering happens. S…

Tweaking displacement while Raytraced is running will currently not work, you’ll have to toggle the viewport to a different mode and back to Raytraced to see the correct state. Hi @nathanletwory yes I noticed that you needed to toggle but that was not the issue. I started both files from scratc…

Ok, I see now the differences. I don’t know yet why that happens.

Hi @nathanletwory , I have noticed something on your message and I think I figured where is the bug - when the displacement is below 1 it goes crazy. [update: and it does not go negative] here is the mm to m file with displacement = 0.5 [201008 PBR Dip 0.5 - mm scaled to m 100] here is the mm to…

Thank you for the extra information. I already figured out what the problem is, and a fix for it. I logged this as https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-60920 , and should be fixed in our repository soon.
