I am trying to create a glitter type material using a flakes node connected to the normal channel of a material.

How can I increase the strength of the effect? When I use a normal map image I can bump up the power, but there's no power setting on the flakes node.

Fixed it - I have 2 x glass materials, one for the outer surface of the bottle, and one for the inner surface - forgot to switch off the displacement for the inner material.

I am using a displacement map to create some details on a bottle.

The bottle is UVd, the displacement map is 4K, 16bit.

I'm getting weird triangular artefacts. I've tried just about everything I can think of, but can't identify what's causing them.

Can anyone shed any light on this issue ...

Oh dear, very sorry for repeating myself!

I have been doing some detailed sculpting in c4d, and I'm trying to use the bake sculpt objects command to create texture maps to use in Octane.

After two days of experimentation, I have successfully baked out a normal map using the tangent method, this works well in Octane and is a good match when ...

Over on the Redshift forum the M4 Max is hitting the same benchmark as a laptop 4090. Definitely catching up!

Yay! Thanks!

Is there a way to add a text note in the node editor, so I can remind myself of how or why I've used a certain value in a node for future reference?

Thanks, I am aware of that, but I like to keep things really simple - I'm forever accidentally leaning on the buttons on my Wacom, so usually turn everything off.

My left hand is always on the keyboard for 1, 2, 3 navigation in c4d, so it would just be nice to be able to press control and left ...

Thanks, but I know that, and can do that with a mouse, but I only use a Wacom tablet, and was looking for a way to replicate how things work on a mac, i.e. holding control and left clicking gives you a right click.

I have programmed a button on my Wacom to give me a right click menu, that works ok ...
