Vector Displacement Map

Category: Texture

Shader Family: Texture

Output: Scalar

Applies a vector displacement map (VDM). For more information about vector displacement maps, see Vector Displacement Maps.

vector map	Connect the image to use as a vector displacement map.
scale	A multiplier that affects the amount of displacement.
map encoding	How values are encoded in the map file: Absolute means that the exact displacement values are stored. It is used by floating-point image formats. Signed Encoding means that biased values are stored. It is used by 8-bit image formats.
space type	The space for interpreting the values of the property specified by tangents: Tangent: values are in tangent space. Object: values are in local object coordinates. World: values are in global coordinates.
tangents	The Color at Vertices property used to store tangents. If no CAV property has been defined, you can create one by clicking New. If a CAV property is already defined, you can edit it by clicking Edit.

Render Tree Usage

Connect to the Displacement port of a material node.
