Toolbag Displacement on OS X

Fabian Fischer · Feb 2015

Hey Guys,

I've got problems with getting displacement maps work in Toolbag on OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). See attached image.

The warning:
"GPU support not detected".

I read somewhere that displacement maps are not supported on OS X in Toolbag, because it uses DirectX, which is a Windows thing.

My question now: Why is that?
In Substance Designer, for instance, we also can use Displacement under OpenGL. I just don't understand why Marmoset shouldn't support Displacement in Toolbag.

The possibility is, I did something wrong?

I would like to see some replies and attempts to help me and understand this topic more

Best Regards

Toolbag 2 does use OpenGL on OS X, however, the OpenGL drivers for OS X were not very mature when that feature originally went in. This is something that should be possible on OS X, so we may be able to add it in a future update.

It would be great to see more frequent updates of Toolbag, EarthQuake.
I would appreciate to have the possibility to use Displacement, too. there is no reason not to implement it

Yes this is still the case, but this is something we plan to add in a future release.
