But the problem with the current display options is that it forces you
into specific workflows for animating characters with displacement.
Namely, that you have to avoid generating any large-form surface changes
via displacement (and sometimes even medium-to-small-scale features as
well), for fear that animation will create surface intersections. If the
animators don't know where the final limit surface is, how will they
know if meshes are intersecting? Not everything can be a sim.
IMHO, Softimage is a weird creature: it is so elegant and powerful, but
has these frankly rudimentary display options... Even Modo has had GL
displacement, bump, and spec for several years now, without having to
create any realtime shaders. And as politely as I can put it, "High
Quality" viewport is anything but.

I tend to agree with Luc-Eric.
It sure is nice to see the displacement in the viewport, but it
wouldn't be as nearly as impressive if it were a sphere with a fractal
texture on it. The design, modeling and texture work are very impressive.
Besides, the video is a little misleading because we have the
impression that the frame rate is very high.

5%, sure eric, :) this guy is so good he can make Maya show viewport
displacement by shear force of will.

in that case why did any software move from version 1.0 at
