Yeah, the alpha scale won’t work, so what I recommend doing is bringing the displacement map into “Nuke” or a similar post package and do a color correct function. Bring the Gain up by the amount the object was scaled (i.e. it was scaled 78.5%, so in the gain you’d put 78.5)
Basically ‘fix’ the displacement scale then use this method.

Best tutorial on the internet about 32bit displacement in Vray! It helped me a lot:)

On small note: I was using a method where my texture’s alpha gain was 100 instead of 1 because the object had been scaled. Your method above will not work when using this trick. (So working in real scale is indeed a must!)

Thanks a milion

Saved my life!! I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to use the layered texture node in conjunction with 32bit displacement. Thanks a million!
