Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is some code to use Displacement mapping,
I love to use Pov-Ray for redering, but I construct models with displacement
mapping and subdivision surfaces so I would need a support for these
to use it for the future,

Regards,

Thor

Thor,

POV-Ray does not support this. It can be done with macros but it will be 
slow. You'll have to do the subdivision and mapping in an external 
application and then get the final mesh into POV-Ray.
