Displacement Maps With Maya Standard Render

---

Does anyone no how to get the same results with Maya Standard render as with Mental Ray Render or close to it. I want to use paint effects but it won't work with Mental Ray. I can get the displacement to work but Maya Standard Render won't read my bump map. Please Help!

If you keep feature displacement on in the attrib editor for the object you want to displace thats a start. You say it wont load your bump map? Does that mean displacement is working fine but the bump map is not?
Sorry , lil confused on that point.
Your maps are tif files I assume... 16 bit?

Yes My displacements work but my bumps maps don't work. Sorry for not being clear. Yes may files are 16bit. Do I have to lower the bump maps resolution.

Sorry for the delay...
what are the settings in your bump2D node? It is possible your filter slider is canceling out any effect.

Thats true Joojaa. However, I don't believe he is using a Normal Map.
