Thanks all, very much appreciated! I’ll give it a try! Apart from the usual growing pains when one undertakes such a drastic workflow adjustment, I can definitely see the advantages!

@Mario: already sub'd, great stuff!

Tried going back to the VEX principled_shader for Karma CPU, get some very broken looking results (despite Karma CPU compatibility with Vex principled shader...?)

The other thing - my displacement is centered at .5 (typical), but inflates the geo - not seeing a way to "centre" the displacement...?
