Can someone please enlighten me why we can't use Dirtmask or the Occlusion material to drive displacement on objects?
Mantra goes in think mode and switches off.

Is this a bug?

Hi,
i am just “guessing” but:
occlusion depends on the geometry of an object.
this geometry is changeing when displaced. now the dirt/occusion would be different for this displaced geo.

maybe try this:
bake out occlusion maps and use them for displacement.

I get that it would create displacement on displacement when the DirtMask is used to drive a mix, but I wish there was a way to use Rest (before displacement) and not thereafter.

Thanks for your insight Olaf.

Hi Werner,
Maybe you could have “two” objects (or a copy) and transfer/use the occlusion from one to displace another.
