Sample Color From A Projection

[tarticus]

Hi everyone,
it has been asked before but not really fully answered I dont think,

I need to sample a texture that is constructed from various projection nodes and use this information in a variety of ways for driving expressions for particle emissions etc.

The solidTexSampler looks ideal for this purpose but im using 8.5 and cant find a compiled version.
or..... something like colorAtPoint that could somehow interpret some user specified range of world coords as uvs instead of object Uvs. I dont really need a 3d dimensional sample as all the projections are in an xy plane.

anyone got any ideas?or a version of solidTexSampler for 8.5?

hello mate!

colorAtPoint takes uv coordinates for textures but when its an oceanShader it takes world positions!

have you tried to take the projections you have and pipe them through an oceanShader shader
and query the needed data from that shader?
