Displacements - Why displacement looks bad

cartermrobbinson

I'm wondering why my displacements always look poor, and have artifacting, as in the edges always separate.

See screen shot.

I'm using a sample from Substance Designer 4.6, output as 4096 tiff. But I always get this type of errors on displacements.

Ideas?

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance if you're able to respond.

I corrected the edging by just having a single plane w/o a beveled edge. But the displacement still looks jagged. I've not been able to get a smooth-looking displ that doesn't have artifacts.

Okay, so I think I fixed my own problem. At least for now, with a single plane. Had to adjust and balance the displacement and height/normal settings.
