Hi,
I’m both a Maya and Blender user. I’m used to have a displacement map texture in my shader in Maya and MentalRay displays my geometry on render. In Blender, I can have the displacement map on a modifier, but is it possible to have it in a Cycles and Internal shader?
In the output node of Cycles for exemple, the displacement socket is to use a bump map, isn’t it? Is it an other way than using a diplace modifier?
Thank you!

Cycles true displacement (experimental) does not support it yet.
Vincent, use displacement modifier,
for the moment.
Stay tuned, the whole displ project is under development.
Thank you for your answers.
I don’t see this option in my option data panel. An experimental feature means that it’s not usable in the “main” release? I can wait using the modifier method but if it’s available, I’ll be glad to use it on my shaders! 
[edit: I’ve just saw I can activate the experimental features on the render panel of Cycles]
Yea. It’s not that useful because it lacks essential features, but with generated mapping coordinates it’s certainly possible to try it. Don’t forget to save, it’s experimental feature for a reason. Displacement modifier is still much better option.
Ok, good to know for later then.
Thanks.
