Re: How to mix two displacement maps?

For some reason, using attributes for mixing doesn't work. Maybe it's a bug or some limitation. Maybe Juanjo could check that out.
Using procedurals to mix works fine.

Re: How to mix two displacement maps?

I really need help with this guys, I know in Arnold it is possible to mix two displacement maps but I don't want to switch to Arnold only because of this tiny feature really.

Re: How to mix two displacement maps?

Ok, having downloaded your scene, I did my own tests following your workflow and I still can't understand why it doesn't work for me..

I created Attr. VOP with float attribute cow it has 0 and 1 float values in relevant black/white areas (I double-checked it using visualizers). I plug it to mixing ...
