Mixed map

Yeah. They were detached; not sure it'd recognize the open edges otherwise without having to select them. You could use a Multi/Sub mat but it would probably be more work than it was worth.

Mix

I am not getting the desired results. I put my gradient texture in the diffused slot of my vray material, which allowed me to apply it to the element. What controls the spread of the mix?

MIXED maps

The distance cranked up is working for me. This has possabilities, thanks for the help!

[sea2stars]

The Distance option. Beat me to it.

Heh. I'm glad that something I was playing with may help out someone else. If you manage to get it to work using 2D displacement, let me know!

[sea2stars]

Hey. I think I might have something working with 2D displacement; using another material from the previously referenced site - MapLayers. Something to play with anyways.

- It's a single Plane object
- no UVW mapping coordinates
- 3 materials controlled through a VrayBlendMat, masks and tiling
- 2 displacement maps are controlled using MapLayers, masks, tiling and RGB values for the heights

2d

really nice.... why would you prefer 2d displacement over 3d? I am rendering out a scene trying you 3d material mix. It is looking good. I'll post when I am done.

[sea2stars]

For really large areas of displacement I'd much rather use 2D over 3D. I have an old project that I'd like to update using Vray and using 3D displacement is possible, but 2D would probably save me some time/RAM.

I'll have to try the 2D version on a larger mesh area and see what happens.

Here is how it turned out. I am still working on it so comments are welcome.

Hrmmm.. the grass looks a bit "mossy"?
