Help with displacement! (pics)

[ovni]

I'm having a hard time getting my displacement maps to work... I followed the tutorial at http://dishinpeter.hihome.com/tutorial/tut3d/tutorial7/disp1.htmhttp://dishinpeter.hihome.com/tutorial/tut...rial7/disp1.htm but still can't seem to get it to work!

Here is my object BEFORE I connect the displacement map (the texture on the object is also the displacement map):

Now, when I connect the texture to the displacement of the material as per the tutorial above, THIS happens:

ANY help you can give me would be great. Thanks!

this is the hard edge fault, the solution is to make the displacement map black where there is a hard edge
or to grow up the discontinuity of your object
someone on the softimage list gave this solution:

you can trick the effect of "hard" polygons in the
rendertree, by plugging the "Vector_state" node set to "Geometric
normal" mode, straight into the Bump input of the material node.

hope this help
