Description
Sets up a displacement on a collection of objects using a source image.
A displacement map is a scalar map that displaces a surface at each point in the direction of the object's normal: the geometry is distorted according to the map during the rendering process. Unlike regular bump mapping that 'fakes' the look of real texture, the edges are visibly raised and can cast shadows that follow the displacement effect. Displacement affects the geometry of the object during the rendering process.
