Displacement Problem

[SpencerL]

Hey,

Im creating a simple displacement shader which displaces the geo based on the color values in a texture map. The displacement shader displaces fine but the issue that Im having is that even though the UVs are assigned properly, the displacement occurs on every poly instead of spreading across the enitire surface. Do I need to do something different to the UVs in order for it not to have a tiling effect?

Ive attached the texture im using to displace the geo as well as an image of the geo after the displacement in order to show how the displacement should look and what its actually producing.

Thanks

I think we need to see the code for your shader, chances are you aren't importing the uv's correctly and it is just using the parametric coordinates of the polys.

Seeing as how I'm a VOPs monkey, this is how I'd fix it:

shading_layer.hipnc

That was it, I wasnt bringing in my uvs through the Shading Layer VOP. I was just using S and T on the Global Var VOP

Thanks Stu

No problem, glad I could help.
