Triplanar mapping in Modo Tweet

[Hesekiel2517]

Hey there,

here is a little test i would like to share with you. It's a triplanar mapping rig which makes use of the new Falloffmap options:

I think it works very well. You can use the same Texture or a different for every direction. Also you can rotate, translate and scale every direction seperatly and adjust the falloff between the textures.

My only problem is to make a nice assembly out of it. Maybe you guys could solve this.

I hope you like it!

Edit: It is not possible to use this for Normal or Displacement. But you can UV the object and bake out the Texture

I couldn't get this scene to render correctly. It just rendered white.

Hey Paul,

i think the texture is missing. Also there are some problems with the assembly. I made a little video to explain, what i did. Also I made a new zip file which now contains a texture.

I hope this helps

I'm sorry! Now it should work

This looks great - thanks for posting.

The transforms are not getting into the sub-assembly because they are multiple XYZ vectors. I think if you rightclick "transform_LEFT_RIGHT" and "Add Channel" the scale, rotation and translation, they will be usable in the sub-assembly (but I didn't test this).

The filename is not usable in the sub-assembly because I suspect the plugin does not support the linking of a string channel between the workspace and a sub assembly. I see if this can be implemented in the next release.

So I had a little time to make a working assembly. You can drag it directly in the Workspace and connect it to a Texture and a Octane Material. I also made a short video to explain how it works:

I hope you like it! It would be great if you have ideas and suggestions how to improve this.
@Paul: I would like to control the gamma and the power of the Texture in the Assembly but it doesn't work. Maybe you can help

I recorded the video with the windows xbox app and i couldn't figure out how to record the whole screen. So you can't see when i opened a window or a menu in modo. But i thing it's understandable. I'm also sorry for my bad english

Very cool! Thank you so much.

Excellent work!

You could probably merge all the filename input so you only need to plug it in once (although maybe this is deliberate?).

To get Power working, plug an Octane Greyscale Color into the input. For Gamma, use an Octane Float Value. Both worked fine for me.

Thanks again.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble getting this to work. I'm following the video step by step but it doesn't work.
Can you figure out what am I doing wrong?

I'm on Modo 10.2 with Octane VR 3.4.3.
