animated vray distance texture

[Arch.Hany]

this is a ( gradient ramp texture mapped with vray distance texture ) pluged as mask in vray blend material
like the one in this video

i really wish we can take advantage that vray distance texture read the object geometry direction and actually offset the texture outwards to represent maybe something like a wave moving outwards
the offset in the gradient ramp doesn't work for some reason

it would be very cool thing
and with it we can make animated waves around any object easily so i think its worth a try

Have you tried adding more sections to the gradient ramp and afterward key the distance parameter in the VRayDistanceTex to increase?

[Arch.Hany]

It will act like a scale for the whole shape and not a moving wave unfortunately

Can Anyone update if this is possible plz ?
