Title: Disable/enable displacement button?
Post by: duke on 2014-11-09, 20:32:53
Hi all,
This is my first post in Corona's forum but I've been following the development of this render engine for a year now and I'm very impressed by it so far! I think it has a great future if it keeps this pace of development (congrats to the dev team btw!). I've even used Corona in some commercial projects which I might show in the gallery forum really soon.

Now onto my question. I've been wondering if there's a button I can click that enables/disables all displacement throughout the whole scene globally? I had a look through the menu and could not find such a thing. The way I'm doing it now is going through each and every material and disabling/enabling displacement manually which as you might guess becomes very cumbersome particularly if you have more than 2 "displaced" materials.

Looking forward to your suggestions on how to tackle this problem. Thanks in advance! :)

There are numerous scripts for this task. There's couple:

Slate Connector (http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/slate-connector)

Thanks, Romullus! I hope a button is implemented in release 1.0.

Umm... There is such button in max's common tab in rendering (F10). It's called "displacement".

Haha, this actually sounds pretty logical to me! I feel really stupid now :P. I never thought these buttons had any effect on render engines other than Scanline or Mental ray.

Don't worry, me too. Actually I asked the same question some time ago. You learn all your life. ;)
