Strange artefact when plugging in displacement in Maya

[Adam.Williams]

Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been asked a million times but I am very new to 3D. Has Anyone seen this strange banding before when plugging in displacement maps.

Thanks

It is most likely from your displacement being a jpeg. Where did you get the file from? Try to reexport it as 16 bit tif or 32 bit exr.

That was exactly the issue. Thanks a lot!
