     Sorry about the previous posting, this one should be a little
     easier to read.

     I am looking for some information on displacement mapping.
     Displacement mapping is similar to texture mapping or bump
     mapping except that in displacement mapping the idea is to
     make the siloutte of a model appear realistic such as the 
     grooves of a screw or the dimples on a golf ball.  Displacement
     mapping appears to be fairly new and I have not been able
     to find any papers on it.  I would appreciate any information
     on it or any references that I could use to find out more
     about it (particularly how to implement it).  Thanks.
