Quote - That said, is there any clear advantage/disadvantage you see when comparing just normal maps and displacement maps?
Displacement will actually change a model's profile, but bump and normal mapping won't. This actually adds geometry (at render time) and pretty significantly increases render time, but if it's the effect you want, it's the effect you want.
