Displacement in a complex material

[ondr8]

Hello

Another displacement question - can I use Displacement as a part of a multi-shader material? Every time I use a Layer Mask or Group Mask in a complex material, displacement does not render out, if part of it.

Sorry for bugging so often.

Kind regards,
Ondrej

It's not possible to blend the displacement using a Shader item or a V-Ray Blend Material.
The displacement must be on the topmost material, and it will affect all materials.
You have to setup the displacement blending separately from the material blending.

Hi Vladimir, thanks for the feedback. I've been cheating it by running the RT with only the displacement enabled, then switching all the other Shaders on when the rendering is in progress - the displacement stays and the Shaders are added on.

Cheers,

Just put the displacement just below the top-most Shader item, and it should work without cheating it.
