RE: Displacement direction

Sorry, I meant using native rendertree nodes.  I’m using a 64bit workstation so I’m limited in terms of external plug-ins. Thanks.

This IS a rendertree solution ;)

Thanks!  I wish that there would be a render tree solution however.

Try searching for the "waterblue" displacement shaders on the base and cgtalk.

Is there a way to control the direction of a displacement? (see attached image example). My first thought would be to modify the normals but can you do that? Normal map? Scripted operator to bend the normals? Anybody has any leads I should explore?

 

Thanks
