In the advanced options for the Displacement material height map, a new **Height Field Tracing** algorithm has been added alongside the existing Subdivision Displacement.

#### **Applicable Scenarios**

  * Suitable for material scenarios that require the presentation of surface irregularities and details such as brickwork, wood grain, and weaving.

  * Especially in large, performance-sensitive scenarios, it can serve as a lightweight alternative to subdivision replacement. **Note:** Height Field Tracing does not support "**Triplanar**""._
