[Fixed] Why I cant paint with displacement using Pen Brush or Fill ?

[jimhatama]

bake with microvertex. view  -- show displaced mesh enabled. 

Smart mat preview looks like this 

actual painting looks like this

it just thick coating on top of cube. I dont get what is wrong

yes

Windows Version: 2021.38

Possible bug: 

This is importing the cube from the New Menu, Micro-Vertex. Not baking from the retopo room. 

The regular Brush and fill tool is only pushing out as shown in your picture. Confirmed.

Now if i use the Airbrush, then the depth is applied correctly as shown in my picture. I only painted one side of the mesh to test.

Side Note:

There is no Show Displace Mesh in Micro-Vertex Mode only in Per Per Pixel painting.

In Micro Vertex  Mode----View Window "Adjust Tessellation:

If you subdivided enough upon import, no need to use it.

yeah I guess its a  bug. Displacement working only with airbrush

Just wanted to chime in here that this is still an issue, thank you for posting about this.
I thought I was losing my mind when I couldn't get any displacement to show up...  it only 'puffs up' with almost complete disregard for the smart material displacement texture

this has been reported in august, what's taking so long to fix?
