Hi there,

Is it possible to import data from a displacement shader for use in a surface shader? (ideally from any point in the network, heard something similar to what I want can be done for output buffers/planes).

In other words, I'm looking for something a little more ellegant than duplicating the nodes across to the surface shader… dont fancy doing double tweaking to get my disp and surface shaders to match.

cheers

Look at
dimport(….) VEX Function
“Import Displacement Variable” VOP node

It's well documented in the help
hdox/houdini/content/base/vops_dimport.html

duh, sorry guys should've checked the docs more closely, lesson learned ops:

thanks
