System Information

Blender Version
2.79.4

Short description of error
Vector displacement doesnt work with instances, It mirrors the displacement on the first object, Im sure this is working as intended but there are many cases where you need to displace actual instances as well.

Having a checkbox somewhere to enable instance displacement would be amazing

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Thought I should add that this alone uses 3.5 GB of ram ?!?

I agree it would be useful to have, but it's not a bug and so won't be handled in this bug tracker.

For the memory usage, if you think it's a bug please attach a .blend to reproduce the problem.

I can´t understand why Vector Displacement not working on instances is not a bug.

If we have vector displacement, and we can use it on, for example, trees, I as an artist would expect to have it properly working on my instanced forest.

Cheers!
