Control displacement with Arnold Properties

- [Instructor] Setting up displacement is easy with a 3ds Max physical material because it has a displacement input right on the material node. However, most materials don't have a displacement input, for example, the Arnold standard surface does not have a displacement input. If you want to displace a material other than the 3ds Max physical material, you can assign an Arnold properties modifier, and that'll give you a little bit more control over the behavior of the displacement and the subdivision. Let's select the terrain object, go over to the modify panel, from the modifier list choose Arnold properties, and we've got two important sections here, displacement and subdivision. So let's do a rendering without any displacement just for a baseline comparison. Click render production, and here it is with no displacement, and we see the polywire utility node I've plugged into the base color that is illustrating where…
