Projection mapping a displacement map (2)

[dprog53]

Okay in maya 3 can you projection map a displacement map, like you can a bump map for instance? Ive tried connecting nodes in hypershade but im not sure which to connect.

Any clues? Thanks

Hi,

you need to craete a displacement shader. Then connect the outAlpha of the texture you want assign as displace to the input of the displacmeent node.

Adjust carefully the outAlpha of your texture because the displace will offset the object. To compense, set the half negative in alphaOffset (i.e. alpha gain 0.5, alpha offset -0.25)

Hope this helps...
