2.8 Adaptive Subdivision

Question

How can I enable adaptive subdivision in Blender 2.8? I have a noise texture plugged into the displacement output for a material, with the displacement method set to Displacement Only. There is no "adaptive" option for my subdivision surface modifier, however, when I increase the subdivision levels manually, the mesh is displaced in the rendered view.

I am rendering with cycles with the 2.8 beta version downloaded today.

Make sure you're in experimental mode! – Linguini Nov 30 '18 at 01:32 — Linguini, Nov 30 '18 at 01:32

Here are the steps:

Select Cycles for Render Engine
Select Experimental for Feature Set
Select Dicing Rate and Preview count in Subdivision drop down
Select Subdivision Modifier from Modifiers tab but do not apply it
Check Adaptive check box and choose dicing scale
Done!

I hope that helps

The button is no longer in the same place it was in 2.79 – Erik Dec 01 '18 at 02:01
Modified the answer. I'm also commenting because I'm not sure whether you get a notification whenever an answer is edited or not. – Neeraj Lagwankar Dec 02 '18 at 02:45

Also note: subdivision Adaptive is only available when this modifier is at the bottom of the stack! – Christos Feb 09 '20 at 21:57
