Title: [RESOLVED] Vector Displacement: Triplanar
Post by: cjwidd on 2020-05-24, 12:45:52

Is it confirmed that vector displacement does not have triplanar support as of Corona version: 6 (DailyBuild Apr 28 2020)?

Hi Cjwidd,

Can you please provide some examples and a use case scenario for this issue?

Hey George, I've provided a short video walking through the process and an example use case:

tl;dr - us vector displacement for a snow shader with ice flakes

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the reverse triplanar order.

If you are only using the Triplanar map as a mask for your displacement, you should be able to get the same using the Falloff map.

Reverse triplanar is effective, thanks @Sprayer
