Right. I'm still thinking there might be a way to make this all significantly faster. I have a feeling that there may be some non-trivial optimizations to be done. I have a lot of faith in the DisplacementMapFilter despite its quite obvious shortcomings. We'd have to look at what exactly is the bottleneck (obviously rendering is one, although there might be other fun stuff to take a stab at). Dynamically generating DisplacementMapFilter maps from a few base maps and doing some quick and dirty interpolation steps using add, subtract and a lot of hacking might work out decently. Of course, it's understood that you can't simply compose two displacement maps and obtain the intermediate one since it's all likely globally non-linear but it might be non-trivially quasi-linear for small enough displacement map differences, and that might be enough to make it useful. Just a thought.
