Hi @nathanletwory , i’ve tried to use the Displacement feature of a Physically based material on a mesh plane with 100x100 faces. Once i assign a texture, it doesn’t show any displacement at first. Below changes to the material do not seem to update but trigger a re-render in the Raytraced viewport…

Changing PBR displacement indeed doesn’t reflect in an active Raytraced view, this has been the case already since Rhino 7. RhinoCycles does not have the original mesh which would be needed. When a material is changed only the material changes are being given to RhinoCycles. Not holding on to the or…

thank you @nathanletwory for adding it to the bugtracker. I’ve asumed that above changes are part of the material since i can see it update eg. for diffuse, bump etc. (btw. first link seems to non public). _ c.
