Displace modifier does not work as described I am teaching Blender to basic ans advanced students &amp; I am using the book BlenderBasics_4thEdition2011.pdf, by James Chronister in my class. That book can be found at http://www.cdschools.org/

In chapter 12 this modifier is described as below:



Neither me nor my students can make the basic cube look like the above.  Can you help?
Start wit your cube, enter Edit Mode (Tab) and subdivide it like 10 times so you have many vertices. (W).

Exit edit mode (Tab).

Add a displace modifier.

Set the Texture for to be used by the displace modifier.
