Hi Michael,

I agree that a displacement map is the best compromise. Modo is pretty good with UVs so that is not the issue. Although I'm no expert on displacement maps, I think they are very sensitive to UV-seams. In this particular case with two cylinders I think it is very hard to get a good UV without seams. To make things even worse there is no fillet between my cylinders. If I manage to add fillets I think it is going to be ok.

If Ptex gets widely adopted it is gonna make life alot easier for alot of people, me included.

Thanks for your help!
