thanks so much for any help

Post your compile log in here and follow the instructions.

#3

Also, before the moderators arrive, this goes in the Help section of the forums. Also, when I had a fail displacement (actually three fail displacements but that is beside the point) I never got a message and just ended up removing them. But I think that you’ll get some errors, actually I may run it myself, just for the heck of it…

EDIT: You got this among other things:

How much of a mess are you displacements? Jesus, 368 seems like a lot. I may be wrong though…

#4

As in overlapping or touching? I don’t want to run into this problem myself.

#5

So I shouldn’t overlap the brushes? I’m terribly sorry, I’m absolutely exhausted today, and as such, I can’t seem to comprehend anything other than not pissing on myself in the bathroom.

#6

so displacements cant touch one another?
what if i want a big high poly displacement?

#7

I looked at your map. It seems you have been shaping (with Paint Geometry) both top and bottom surfaces which in several places have caused top and bottom to share edges and the sides have partially disappeared. Since you’re only interested in the top surface there is no need to touch the others.
