UDK - Material Enhancement, Displacement map

Displacement map is a technique which works hand in hand with bump mapping and normal mapping in-which you use height mapping to give a certain desired effect over the geometry, it pushes out the surface texture to give a greater sense of depth and adds extra detail.

This technique I think will really help my scene come to life with this added extra depth, I added this to my stone floor material in UDK with a simple set-up using a bump offset expression and while combining both the diffuse texture and normal map.


                                                               
Comparison shown below, with bump offset and without.
