High baking displacement always worked but now it stopped working evrywhere and im a bit fabergasted.

i tried downgrading the labs version, this did not help.

The new node doen`t trow anny errors. and then doesn`t output anything.

The old node trows.

ive tested on the tokura example aswell as this one.

Hello,

I`m trying to get sand displacement on my geometry but it seems like atribute from map only works on 1001.
And I`m working with a trimuvs. trimtexture whatever you want to call it,
Ix there is the option UDIM filename extention but i generally dont want to make 100 files.

EDIT: this is fixed by placing a modulo in the block inside the afmap.

Hello i have made a simple instancer.
The problem is that it only works if pack geometry before instanceing is ticked and the target andanother input are always World inputs.

Is there a way to set these by default ?

It`s not that hard there is a library that someone uploaded on the forum that has a wrapper that makes this a 1 node solution.

Here`s the pack. some of it is a bit outdated needing you to go in and flip some switches so it`s not ideal but it shows what you need.

also i think in just karma there is a 1 node solution to this.

There`s no texture input on the labs map baker so how can i tell it what textures to reproject ?

Does annyone know if there is a way to setup stamppoint so that it auto combines normals?
or if i should make a heightmap and convert it to normals instead.

Bonus question annyone know if you can apply a different noise per instance becore it go`s into the stamppoints ?

apply a mask on the primitives and then have both materials as 1 material?

so playing with low values doesnt cause long load times but it also doesn`t seem to change anything.

I think you can have a look inside the project peagasus heightfield rgb node thing and jerryrig that.

im 99% sure there will be a wayland optimised version at the latests when rhel drops support for x11 wich might be right around the corner.

Hello so i notised that my hextile size was of a weirdly low quality.
i assumed this was becouse the hextile is not useing the same 4k textures that it gets trough input.

I then tried piping in a sizeref. but even just importing a 1k sizeref is taking over 10- minutes to process (on windows).
so i`m confused about this hebaviour.





(there is also a resolution problem with the ramp nodes but that's not related to this issue.

Hello so I was texturing an axe and wanted to get reflective metal but it seems that the default environment just reflects black. I then tried adding an HDRi as per standard but that seems to be even worse as it also reflects black but without highlights.

am i doing something wrong ? i feel that this should somehow work.

scatter points might help.

Hello that workflow doesn`t work verry well.
If you use vellum post process you can get things to work better.
It might require some attributes like thiquesness or something if you can`t immediatly get it to work run a normal clos sim and pipe that into it and c what the used attributes are called.

Your are throwing money at the walls using a cloud provider for rendering.
just buy a home server with an nvidia card and save money and have assets.

DAmnit i should have tried that again after changing the tags ects.

Well u sir are my hero today!

I`ve been trying to setup an ik for my monster.
evry time in the past if i just set the root mid and tip and then the pv and the target the ik just worked.

THis time however everything borks.
I have tried multiple solutions but an offset on both the target and the pv keeps ocurring.

Is there anny way we can put



In a group node? this whould make things easyer forgoing vex

Hello !
my automated gh build go`s say it succeeds on gh but then if i check the dockerhub.
builds i think is stil empty and all i c is an add for automated builds.

the logs still had the secrets as **** not sure that indicates a blank value or that it is keeping them secret.

also no tags show up

Hello,
I am here becouse i whould like to zombie this thread for matrix purposes.

I assume theat by now there is something really simple ?
THe fonts work in the text field itself but not in the rendered cops output.
