so I can't use displacement for this competition?
And if people download the material they won't get the displacement setting?

They'll be included when you upload

maybe this isn't the right place for the question.
but is there a plan to support displacement with the LBM2 file in the future?

IMHO I tend to think that displacement being part of the mesh panel, it is not a property tied to materials, but to the mesh. So it would be rather strange to have it in material database (although I agree, some materials are somehow meant to be used with microdisplacement in order to look good

)

Developpers might proove I'm wrong though. :?:

I know that currently the displacement is a mesh option.
But just like you said, I think a material database that support displacement is much more convenient.
And also this is the case for many other un-biased renderer.

I think the micro-displacement can really help sell the power of the renderer

Can we reuse old renders?
For example I would like to upload my "dusty air"-material (nothing special, but I can imagine that beginners have a hard time fiddling out the right values) and I have already rendered this scene: gallery2.php?g2_itemId=16652
Would it be allowed to just post this ready-rendered image again? Would save me a lot of time and electricity...

Once again,

You may use any scene you wish to showcase your material/texture.

So, i guess there are no restrictions.

As J the Ninja said:

That or follow rule #10.

My entry:

Material 1: Rigid Cloth

Material 2: Woofer
This material isn't for the competition, because uses microdisplacement.
