BUG?

When I import an object(no UVs)into TG and add displacement(Force displacement set) then add a population, the pop ignores the new added displacement and conforms to the original shape before displacement.

I'm not 100% certain of the issue you're describing, but the way to get a population to be displaced would be to add the population first, then go into the object generator that is inside the populator and add displacement *there*. You can, alternatively, connect an already-modified object generator to your population but you have to make sure you select "member of a population" for that object.

maybe it needs to be anchored to the displacement shader?

Now that is a smart idea (serious).

Good point!

Can't be done displacer is inside the object!

A basic example file to test?

Here you go, moss is on file sharing.

and where would one find the Boulder then?

Yes "BoulderV1.obj" .

I suspect from a test I'm running that the displacement happens at render time as the boulder I have that I'm testing on shows nothing in preview but is hanging something fierce in the render. I made a .tgc of your boulder's shaders and applied them to mine to try and get close.

oops

Well I had to use a different moss as Moss1 rendered black, but in my example with Moss2 it confirms that to me as Displacement happens at render time I doubt there's a way to populate as yet on that displacement.
I managed to crash TG3.4 by substituting Moss1 from the more folder, it populated then TG announced it was crashing. Odd.

All that being said that's a cool base boulder...thanks for that for my collection, hee hee hee

You're welcome.
