@Clippy-notes said in 3- Testing Displacement Map / Filter Image Object Role // How to make a Live Filter??:
The main issue is that the Filter Image behaves like a "dead" reference rather than a live object. It doesn't provide the kind of dynamic relationship I was expecting, making it difficult to iterate on the source object without losing flexibility.
What changes are made where the effect was not live?
This should be a live effect (actually there is no option for non-live effect), send me a file with the image and displacement effect in it.
Another issue is that the displacement appears to be consistently slightly over-scaled compared to the source image, making it difficult to obtain an exact correspondence between the displacement map and the final result.
If the "Original Size" box is checked in the Displacement effect option than the size should be the same,
send me the example file by email to csraba at vectorstyler.com
