PXL+DIRT grunge/dirt helper [2019/10/10 update] Tweet

[pxlntwrk]

Hi,

small update of PXL+DIRT for the Pattern feature (renamed "Displace") in preparation:

-Using a custom bitmap texture as the source of the displacement (in addition to the "Pattern" feature)
-Synchronization of displacement with the different layers generated (LowCoat, Stickers, Scratch etc ...)

a little gif to illustrate the progress

[pxlntwrk]

Hi bertritude ,

all this is not quite ready yet. I have to settle a few more things.

Hey,
here is a video showing the improvements on the displacement feature.

Octane render 3.07 or above will be needed, the new Baking Texture node is used.
Thanks to him, we can use Octane procedural Noise like displacement source .

We can now use its own bitmap (or as before a procedural pattern) as displacement input and distribute it with a
dirt map generated by a Noise or synchronize it with different PXL+DIRT layers (Low coat, Stickers, Scratches etc ...)

The update should be available during November @thepixellab.net

Cheers !

Hey guys,

Love this plugin - thank you so much for creating it!

I just upgraded to R19 however, and can't get it to work. Is R19 not supported yet? I've tried using Octane 3.07-R1 and 3.07-R2, to no avail. It was working on R18 with Octane 3.06t4, but sadly 3.06t4 doesn't support R19.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Salut,

@ Bertritude: merci pour le retour ,j’espère que l'update te plaira aussi...

@kyledettman: I just tested on the r19.024 version, and here (win7) everything reacts as expected(old and updated PXL+DIRT release).
I do not have the opportunity to test on mac, but if someone has other feedbacks?
