Hello,

I have a single object which is split into groups and 2 different materials are applied. When I add displacement the geo splits along the group seams. Is there a way to stop that. In Vray for example there is a keep continuity option.

I have attached a simple file that shows this.

Thanks

Instead of splitting the mesh into different prims you could use your groups to set up Geometry Subsets. That way you maintain a continuous mesh, but have separate prims underneath to apply materials to.

Thanks mate that looks like a good solution. I read somewhere that using names was better than groups that why I went down that route.
