    Very interesting. I wonder what the final product would look like were Displace Inward not checked.

    The idiosyncrasies of tools inside Strata Design can be realized and further understood by simply playing with the many different options. Simply to see what happens.

    I’m glad I bought Strata Design 3D CXi.

    Thanks!

    Hello, It is a texture. You create it from the resource palette, Texture tab, press and hold on the New… button at the left, and select Displacement from the pop-up menu.

    Let us know how it goes
