Weight Map lookup prob + Re:Weight Map Value Range and Opacity 2004-05-18 - By Christian Rittener

Thanks Reinhard,
For my problem:
your guess seems unfortunately to be wrong, but I just found a solution.
The "amplitude" slider in the Push Operator (not in the PushMap property)
can be set, EVEN THOUGH it is connected to the PushMap (never saw this in
XSI before...). So I can set it to 20, and leave my brush Opacity at 100%,
and it makes more sense.
By the way, I found out that in "Set Weight" mode, R-click sets weight in
positive value, even though the status bar shows "decrease weight". I think
it should set weight negatively.
As to your problem:
I tried a quick setup, but from what I can see, connecting a Map Lookup node
to displacement is not the best way to raise/lower vertices. Why not use the
Push Paint Tool? It works OK on clusters. Displacement should be used when
you want detail at a higher resolution than your mesh, which you can't do
with weight maps.
