I'm working on a new version of this from the original HTML source. I should have it up in the next couple days at the most. --JeffLane 12:59, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Whatever you do, add images! --TomEdwards 13:46, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)
That is the plan. FYI, we've added a "moved" page to the old SDK docs site, so older documents can be reviewed if necessary. --JeffLane 15:06, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Updates complete and stub removed. --JeffLane 18:54, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)
What about oddly shaped holes? Like circles or 't' shaped holes? I bumped into that problem in my editing and couldn’t work out how to solve it. --Treb 03:23, 6 Jul 2005 (PDT)

You nailed it Jeff, nice work. Treb I'm not sure what the proper method would be but a cheat method I use is a combination of brushes/displacments in places around the original displacment as detail work. In Jeff's example making that final hole round would be fairly simple. --wisemx 04:51, 6 Jul 2005 (PDT)

Sewing trick

"Because the four outside edges are not split, these displacements can be sewn to and surrounding geometry seamlessly."

That should probably be at the start as well, it took me a while to realise why I was supposed to do it. --TomEdwards 06:14, 13 Jul 2005 (PDT)
