Sorry hit the send button... I was saying... Yes. They even implemented a scalar change range into the displacement node and they have an "auto bump" feature.
It can render such fine detail, that really is amazing. The bump map by itself looks awsome. 2014/1/8 Emilio Hernandez <emi...@e-roja.com> > Displacement and bump map are there and they work beautiful.
