Corona Layered Material + Multiple Displacement

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Requests
1

Hi guys and excuse me for bringing up this issue here.

Do you plan to fix the limitation of using Corona Layered Mtl and multiple displacement maps in this cycle?
I am using multiple mix maps now (only evident solution) but things are a bit complicated as I have at least 6 different materials with different displacements and I need to apply all of them on a single terrain object by using multiple masks.

Thanks in advance,

    1. This would really make a huge difference in workflow and speed :smiley:

Don’t tell me… I have to map 1.5km of terrain and deal now with 6 materials + displ. maps makes me sick… :frowning:

I may be reading this incorrectly but cant you mix displacements with the corona displacement modifier using a custom map?

Is a bit complicated this issue.

You can use the Corona Displacement Modifier which in this case will be applied globally to all the Displacement maps which may compose a Corona Layered Mtl by using unfortunately the Mix map method, this is the only solution to combine multiple Displ. Maps under a Corona Layered Material. Then you can set individually the brightness of is Displacement Map to set it’s height. Is a pain… Believe me…

yeh i tried it and it was kinda messy

Is you can set up everything properly is seems to work. This is the only solution for now. The big problem is that I have a huge terrain area and I need to use 6 Quixel materials on it by using masks which I’ve produced with the help of World Creator.
Everything seems to work great except of this Corona limitation which slows down all my workflow. But there is no other solution for now, I need to proceed with it as it is, if not I am in trouble! :smiley:

I really need it too.
Could you please add support to this function.

It is still something that we consider for future versions of Corona, but because it is not trivial to do right, we cannot provide a timeframe right now.

I can’t believe you made it! Magnific news!
I owe you a bottle of champagne (here in Paris). :smiley:

Well done guys, well done!

Hi all!

I continue to have the problem of displacements in layered material (corona 7 hotfix 1 for 3dsmax). Has it really been fixed?

Thanks in advance

Is fixed on the future release 8.
