This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

The displacement height is the alpha value of the texture map by default. If you turn on Alpha is Luminance for the texture, the displacement height results are based on the intensity of the pixels in the texture map.
endquote...
then you can tweak it with the contrast controls on the texture/file node.
if it doesnt gets the shape of the pic youre using slowly up the samples of the texture (the more samples the more polys)

A displacement map with pure white and pure back will only displace so much, what if I want it to displave more. There must be a value somewhere similar to Bump depth to do this.

I have been working with this indepth for the last week or two on my truck... I have to say that what dragonFx has said is indeed the answer to you question... all you have to do is increasse the value past one, lets say, 3-4 you can still increase it above one eventhough 1 is pure white. Know what I mean? Try it out, it worked for me,

"Map the colors you want to the Contrast utility." which may as well say "Verbally tell the computer to use the Contrast utility" and would be just as good advice.
Sorry, frustrated today. Does anyone know how to set this up?
