=====  Displacement =====
 
Displacement, located in Freehand Mode, gives you the ability to carve, shape, and mold features onto a model’s trunk or branches; create gnarled roots, knobby knots, and custom textures wherever you want them. 

>**Note:** Displacement edits will remain regardless of changes to the model’s resolution.
