Is it possible to get displacement in one dimension, rather than along normals? I have a sign that is divided into four panels. Each panel is chamfered (rounded). I would like to displace a graphic into those panels, and have it correctly push in the portions of the graphic that cross the borders o…

could you include the chamfer in the displacement map?

You could use object-space displacement, I guess… but you might need to use a ColorCorrection texture to figure out which channel (red/green/blue) pushes in the direction you want. Best regards, Vlado

I will try this as well. The color correction was what I was trying to do with vector displacement, but as I am sure you know I found that the vector displacement is still relative to the surface normals (or UV aligned perpendicular to said normal).

Interesting… Perhaps. Not a bad idea. Thanks.

I shall see if the client likes it as is. If not, and they want to change the maps, then I can re-work like this. Thanks again.
