    I have an object that I UV texture mapped on and I want parts of the texture to bulge out like a puffy jacket. I tried bump map and that is just faking it and doesn’t look right. I thought a displacement map would work but its not working or i have the wrong settings. attached is screen grabs of what the bump map is doing and another image of a puffy jacket is the kind of effect Im trying to achieve.

    displacement needs enough geometry to move around to look reasonable so you have to subdivide the mesh enough for it to work like you want
