Texture Displace

This node displaces a list of Vectors using a texture.

Inputs & Parameters

Parameters	Description
Direction	Displacement direction. Available modes: Normal X, Y, Z Custom Axis RGB to XYZ HSV to XYZ HLV to XYZ
Texture Coord.	Modes to match vertices and texture: UV: Input a second set of verts to be the UV coordinates of the mesh. Mesh Matrix: Matrix to multiply the verts to get their UV coord. Texture Matrix: Matrix of external object to set where in global space is the origin location and rotation of texture.
Channel	Color channel to use as base of the displacement Offers: Red Green Blue Hue Saturation Value Alpha RGB Average Luminosity Only in Normal, X, Y, Z, Custom Axis.
Vertices	Vertices of the mesh to displace
Polygons	Polygons of the mesh to displace
Texture	Texture(s) to use as base
Scale Out	Vector to multiply the added vector
UV Coordinates	Second set of vertices to be the UV coordinates of the mesh
Mesh Matrix	Matrix to multiply the vertices to get their UV coordinates
Texture Matrix	Matrix of external object to set where in global space is the origin location and rotation of texture
Middle Level	Texture Evaluation - Middle Level = displacement
Strength	Displacement multiplier

Examples

Basic example

• Generator-> Plane

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

---

Multiple textures can be used with the help of the Object ID selector:

• Generator-> Line

• Generator-> Plane

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Text-> Stethoscope

• BPY Data-> Object ID Selector+

---

When joining the texture list (to be [[texture, texture,…],[texture,…],…]) multiple textures can be used with a single mesh. (The node will match one texture per vertex)

• Generator-> Segment

• Generator-> Plane

• Analyzers-> KDT Closest Verts

• List->List Main-> List Join

• List->List Struct-> List Item

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Text-> Stethoscope

• BPY Data-> Object ID Selector+

---

“Axis Scale out” with multiply the effect multiplying each displace vector component-wise

• Generator-> IcoSphere

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

---

The Texture Matrix mode of “Texture Coordinates” will work as the Displace Modifier with the texture Coordinates set to Object

• Generator-> Plane

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Viz-> Matrix View

---

The Mesh Matrix mode of “Texture Coordinates” will work as the Displace Modifier with the texture Coordinates set to Global in which the Matrix is treated as the mesh matrix

• Generator-> Plane

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Viz-> Matrix View

---

The “UV” mode of “Texture Coordinates” will work as the Displace Modifier with the texture Coordinates set to UV in which the new set of vertices is used as the UV Coordinates of the first mesh

• Generator-> Plane

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Viz-> Matrix View

---

The node can use also “Image or Movie” textures

• Generator-> Plane

• Number-> A Number

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

• Viz-> Matrix View

---

One matrix per point can be passed if the matrix list is wrapped, note that the “Flat Output” checkbox of the matrix in is un-checked

• Generator-> Plane

• Number-> Map Range

• Vector-> Vector In

• LEN: Vector-> Vector Math

• Matrix-> Matrix In

• Viz-> Viewer Draw
