Animated displacement map for a facial rig Pt 1

Pls watch it in hight quality
My target making a facial set up for my character that allows me real time feedback on the 3ds max viewport. I´m using Mental Ray SSS Fast Skin shader and Mental Ray shader doesn´t support morph material so I´m lookin for the best way to solucionate this. Bear in mind it´s a work in progress and it´s a topic that is not in any text book I know so if any of you can help me

How did you make displacement work with SSS?

please give me the steps to make displacement work with sss (3D displacement (3dsmax))

[ErikRicardoLC]

@endocomar93 This is Displacement modifier 'cause it mr SSS doesn't seem allow 3d displacement (3dsmax)

I'm trying to figure out how to make animated displacement with 3dsmax like in your video.

I've tryed using "morph material" but like you say, it doesn't works with mental ray.

So, have you been able to make it work?

It seems to work in your video when background goes black.. Isn't it?

Please tell me your trick/settings for your setup!

[ErikRicardoLC]

Yep I've answered you..check your PM

Hi Eric!

I love your animated displacement trick! I once tried to do it in 3ds max using normal maps but couldn't do it..

Could you pls PM me your way of doing it?

Thank you for sharing your technique with the rest of the world : )

I really don't mean to be a bother, but I too would like to know how you did it.

I am in a similar spot.

I am doing my first 'big' animation and I am using 3Dsmax2009 with finalRender (use to use mentalRay, was bad)

If you'd be kind enough to help me out, I could explain all the details in a PM,

If you are willing to help, please PM me back

That looks really fantastic... and the mesh isn't very complicated! Great mapping
