I posted something similar on the rendering part of these forums, but I have been investigating further.....
In the process of trying to understand the new Parallax bump map shader I ran into this peculiar problem with the displacement map shader. I made a brand new texture with a Renderworks brick png as a bump shader image.
The First Column is an extruded rectangle.
The second is a Nurbs Surface
The Third is the same Extruded rectangle converted to Nurbs Surfaces
The Fourth is a generic Solid made from the third column (using the stitch and trim command)
As you can see the 2nd and third are as you would expect a brick texture to look. The first though, and what led me to try and work out what was wrong in the first place, shows a very Low res pixelated/block like effect, with the mapping reversing itself half way down. The fourth looks fine but is "vignetted" at the edges. Admittedly a really nice effect but not what I expected. I am assuming this is a bug in 2018.
I have enclosed the file so others can take a look and hopefully offer me some advice if I have done something stupid.
