 +====== Displacement Bar ======
 +The Displacement Bar is where you create displacement assets that can be used to displace the surface of branches, caps, and fronds.

 +
 +===== Managing Displacement Assets =====
 +
 +Adding, removing, changing the name, reordering, and applying displacement assets to the tree is done the same way for all of the assets. This process is described in [[asset_common_settings|Common Asset Settings]].
 +
 +===== Settings=====
 +
 +== Filename ==
 +
 +The image file used as the displacement source. Use the browse and reload buttons to change or reload the image.
 +
 +== Channel ==
 +
 +The channel source of the displacement map. This can be set to grayscale, red, green, blue, or alpha.
 +
 +== Smoothing ==
 +
 +The smoothing parameter will blur on the displacement map to remove high frequency changes. Often, a blurry displacement will work much better than one with tiny details.
 +
 +== Brightness ==
 +
 +This parameter lets you raise or lower the brightness of the whole displacement map, effectively adjusting the offset of the final displacement.
 +
 +== Contrast ==
 +
 +This parameter lets you increase the separation between light and dark parts of the displacement map.
