Title: Display triplanar in viewport?
Post by: Jpjapers on 2017-12-13, 14:20:41

How can i display a map with a triplanar diffuse in the viewport?
I only see to be able to see one material at a time?

Thanks
Jack

I am also wondering whether this can be implemented. :)

hi,
this is not possible in 3dsmax, sorry

I knew Ondra is going to kick in at some point. ;)

Dang,
Oh Well.
Is it possible to use a material rather than a map for the XYZ in triplanar?

No. But you can map different material properties as different Triplanar axes.

Yeah, and then some time later, he magically pulls trick out of his sleeve and makes it possible :]

nah, i found at autodesk forum people asking to implement this feature for procedural maps without Nail Blevins script, so they will forgot about native triplanar.
But we have interective rendering almost veiwport =)

..hmm.. that makes me think of how Sevecek / Ondra fix the spinner reset to default value and other similar things in the past which finally fixed too

this is a bit more complex, we would have to somehow write the directx shader for this, and inject it directly into nitrous... I am not seeing that happen realistically.

How do you mean?

Like this. So you get pink glossy material on one axis, metallic thing on the other, and glass on the last one. You can do the same thing for example with multimap. :)

Thanks Ondra for sharing those technical things. But in other hand i still know that you are a kind of man who like to make unrealistic things happen
Cheers ;)
