Houdini Tutorial - Displacement Maps From Geometry (2 ways how to do it!)

This one turned out more interesting then I originally thought! I had recorded this with how I used to do it in the past, showed it to someone at work and then he showed me another even cooler way to do it. So I re-recorded the video to include both techniques.
Shoutout to Arjan from House of secrets who showed me the COPs technique

You're very welcome :D Goal for 2020 is to really ramp up the content I put out and see if I can grow my youtube/patreon some more and make that sustainable. So doing little bit less client work now in order to have more time to put out more tutorials and other stuff :)

Thanks for a great tutorial. Really learn something :)
I think your problem with centering the displacement was/is that you had 1 in z pos in ray intersect . I think it should be 0, -10, 0

[@liammurphy3693]

how would you go about just rendering the displacement out of the composite window?

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

you can just put a rop in the image network and write it out as a exr sequence
