Vector Displacement from Mudbox to Arnold Tutorial not working

[mayanim8]

Version of Maya: Maya 2019.1

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help.

I am trying to follow the tutorial: Vector Displacement from Mudbox to Arnold Tutorial

https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AFMUG/Vector+Displacement+from+Mudbox+to+Arnold

However, my results are not working.

I have tried using the aiImage node and I still get the same results.

I tried also setting the image to Raw, but I still got odd results.

I assume I am missing something?

thank you

I believe that this may be a bug. 

I was sent a file from another user, who was able to get a working render, however I believe that they may be using an older version of Maya. 

I have now tried to render out this file using multiple computers, multiple versions of Maya and I still am not getting a successful render.  Below is a list of the Versions of Maya and Arnold that was used.  In all but one test, I used the file provided to me.  I have included an image showing the resulting render.

Maya 2017 update 4, Arnold 2.0.1.1 Arnold Core 5.0.1.1 My version of Maya could not open the file, I had to recreate the connections based on the tutorial.

Maya 2018.3 Arnold 3.0.0.2 Arnold Core 5.1.0.1

Maya 2019 Arnold 3.1.2 Core: 5.2.2.0

Maya 2019.1 Arnold 3.2.0.2 Core: 5.3.0.1 (Preferences were recreated Maya 2019.1)

Maya 2019.2 Arnold 3.2.2 Arnold Core 5.3.1.1
