Triplanar in viewport

[francomanko]

How do i show the results of a bitmap going thro triplanar node in the viewport? I dont mean by displaying the material, as its a gloss map connection not a diffuse. Or do i have to do the connect to diffuse workaround?

[francomanko]

also why are the texture sizes showing differently? Image on left is viewport, right is render.



vraybitmap plugged into triplanar into vraymaterial diffuse.

Vray 5.10.03, 3dsmax 2022.1

Switching to use real world mapping fixes that.

ah nice thx

Is "real world mapping" a MAX thing, or a Vray thing?

[fixeighted]

Max thing

[francomanko]

so im back on, trying max. Triplanar doesnt seem to want to show in viewport at all. Renders ok tho. Do i need to turn on anything or should it just work?
Max 2022, latest vray release.

It doesn't work in Max, though oddly, from what I read in other posts, it works fine in Maya.
There are posts about it for Max but none of those were answered by Chaos, so maybe it's just been forgotten about or is impossible for some
Max viewport-specific reason.

TriplanarTex's viewport preview is not supported at this point. I'm afraid. For it to work, we would need to implement a shader for the Realistic Viewport since it's not possible to do it in the Shaded Viewport. Indeed, it works in Maya, however, these host platforms are very different.

thanks for reply. Maybe adding a note to the triplanar docs page would be good for users.
